FINANCIAL DISTRICT — Two robbers attacked a straphanger riding the 2 train last
week, grabbing a $1,200 bracelet off the victim's wrist, and snatching
his iPhone and $400 Beats headphones last week, police said.
The man was riding a southbound 2 train at about 8 a.m. on June 13 when the male robbers lunged at him, according to the NYPD. One stomped on his foot and snatched the phone and headphones, before the other ripped the bracelet off his wrist, police said.
Both fled from the train at the Park Place station, the NYPD said.

In the following case note how many times the robber is on a train platform with his victim.
WILLIAMSBURG — A 22-year-old man who gave a man an MTA swipe at the Hewes Street J train station ended up getting robbed by the moocher, police said.
The victim was at the train station on Sunday, June 7 at roughly 2 a.m. when a man approached him and asked to be swiped into the station, police said.
The victim swiped him in and the two started talking and walking toward the northbound platform, police said.
But once [on the platform], the suspect pulled out a black revolver with a wooden handle from his waistband and ordered the victim to empty his pockets, police said.
The victim handed over $10 in cash and an LG Optimus phone. The man then noticed that the victim had a Chase Debit card and demanded that they exit the station to go to an ATM, police said.
The man forced the victim to take out $500 and $40 in two separate transactions, police said.
Then they left, and the suspect took the victim back to the train platform, where he waited for the victim to board the next J train.
The suspect — who was described as 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds — then fled the station.

Perhaps NYPD can ask the bank for tapes from the ATM.
Question to consider: If the robber pushed the victim down to the tracks where he was struck and killed by a train (remember, at 2am on a Sunday) would NYPD have announced "There is no evidence of foul play?"
