Amulet Stolen By Knife-Wielding Thieves On Queens Train: NYPD

QUEENS — Four people robbed hundreds of dollars and an amulet from a man aboard a 7 train in Corona last month, police said.

A 37-year-old man was robbed at knifepoint by four people aboard a southbound 7 train at the subway station located at the intersection of 111 Street and Roosevelt Avenue, taking $300, credit cards, an amulet, and the man's iPhone on Feb. 23 about 11:20 p.m., the NYPD said.

The robbers exited the train station, and the 37-year-old was following the group when one of them threw the man's cell phone on the floor and fled, authorities said.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital and released, police said.

Police released images of one of the robbers on Thursday. The boy is described as about 16 years old and was last seen wearing a black vest, a black hooded sweatshirt, multi-colored pants, and red boots.
