A group of eight people robbed a man as he rode the D train in the Bronx, police say.
A 26-year-old man was riding the train just after 9 p.m. on Feb. 6 when an 18-year-old in the group snatched a cellphone from his hand and left the train with the others at 161st Street station in the Grand Concourse.
The victim followed the group into a subway station tunnel, where the individuals punched him in the face and attempted to remove his wallet, according to police.
The group then took off with the victim’s cell phone.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
