Police are searching for a street dancer who allegedly robbed two teenage boys after a performance in the Union Square subway station last Friday.
The 14-year-old victims watched the dancer perform inside the subway at about 3:30 p.m. Afterward, the performer lured the teens to an abandoned side of the L train platform and forced them to give him an iPhone and $30 in cash, according to police.
He then allegedly ordered the victims to get on the train and leave the station.
The suspect is described as about 17 to 19 years old, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, with medium-length black hair. He was last seen wearing a black hooded jacket with white lettering and dark-colored sweatpants.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or at nypdcrimestoppers.com.
