Three teenagers — one of them wielding a boxcutter — beat and robbed a man at a Bronx subway station late last week, police said Sunday.
The trio came up to the 52-year-old victim at about 4:55 a.m. on Friday, April 14, as he walked up the staircase toward the Mosholu Parkway 4 Line Train Station at Jerome Avenue and Mosholu Parkway, the NYPD said.
One of the boys put the man in a headlock and pulled a boxcutter, while the other two kicked him in the ribs and stole his wallet, backpack and about $350, cops said. Then they fled into a nearby building on Grand Concourse.
The victim was brought to the hospital with minor injuries.
The NYPD described one of the suspects as a teenager with a dark complexion who stood about 5 foot, 7 inches and weighed 150 pounds. He wore a blue shirt, gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.
