Straphanger Punched, Robbed In West Fourth Street Subway: Police

WEST VILLAGE, NY — Four attackers jumped a man, beat him and stole his wallet and cellphone in a West Village subway station, according to police.

The attackers repeatedly punched the 27-year-old in the face in the West Fourth Street station about 11:30 p.m. on May 3, police said.

The group punched him multiple times in the face, knocked him to the ground, and grabbed the belongings out of his pockets, police said.

The robbers then ran off toward the northbound F train platform, police said.

The man who was attacked suffered a cut to his head, but refused any medical attention at the scene, police said.

The four attackers were all wearing hoods, making it difficult for the cameras within the train station to pick up a clear photo.

Police described the group of suspects as being in their twenties.

Here are the pictures NYPD released on Wednesday of the people wanted in connection to the attack.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
