Two Masked Men Wanted for Series of Early Morning Subway Muggings
Two suspects are being sought for mugging three people in three different early morning robberies over the past month.
The police are seeking the public’s assistance to track down a pair of suspects wanted for at least three muggings at Manhattan subway stations in October and November.
The most recent attack occurred around 4:30 a.m. on November 7. According to Citizen.com, the two men—both of whom were wearing masks—punched a 56-year-old man in the face on the southbound 2 train near Fulton Station. They then stole his phone and $80.
Earlier that night, at around 3 a.m., the pair assaulted a 58-year-old man inside the Times Square subway station. They punched him, took his phone and his wallet, and then fled the station on foot.
The incidents on November 7 were not the first time the two men were connected with subway muggings, police said. On October 10, on the southbound 6 platform at Bleecker Street, the two men allegedly approached a 60-year-old man sitting on a bench, punched and kicked him in the face, and stole $65.
They then fled on a southbound 6 train.
Anyone with information in regard to these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
