Teen Attacked by Four Men, Robbed of iPhone at TriBeCa Subway Stop: NYPD
A teen was punched by four attackers who stole his iPhone 6 as he rode the E train, police said.
The 19-year-old told police he was surrounded by four men at the Canal Street stop on the northbound train at about 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 22. The men grabbed his phone along with $200 after hitting him several times in his face.
The group then fled the train.
Police were still investigating the incident.
When attacks happened in cities whose transit police are devoted to protecting the public and not to protecting the civil attorneys concerned about law suits, the police have ensured that crime sites are covered by surveillance cameras and the police release videos of actual crimes. It has happened in Philadelphia, Chicago, Philadelphia (again), London, Moscow, Moscow (again) and Washington DC.
But never in New York. Thanks to the Transit Bureau headed by Joseph Fox.
Just for laughs, here's a quote from the Transit Bureau's home page:
It is the mission of the Transit Bureau to ensure the safety and order of all persons on the New York City rapid transit system, to reduce the fear and apprehension of the riding public, and to serve as the Police Department’s primary provider of police services to the transit system.
