Police are looking for two suspects who showed a subway rider a gun, reached into his pocket and stole his iPhone 6 on a southbound A train as it approached Columbus Circle.
Authorities say the 26-year-old victim was on the train around 12:30 p.m. Friday when one of the suspects asked to use his cellphone. The victim said no, and the suspect lifted his sweater and showed the butt of a gun, police said.
The other suspect then reached into the victim's pocket and took his phone. Both suspects fled the train at the Columbus Circle stop.
No injuries were reported.
Police released a surveillance image of one of the suspects (above).
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
