Woman Robbed Inside Bushwick Train Station, Police Say

BROOKLYN, NY — A woman was robbed inside a Bushwick train station late last month, police said.

The robbery happened as a 27-year-old woman was waiting at the Myrtle Avenue and Central Avenue M station around 12:40 a.m. on July 26 when she was approached from behind by a stranger, police said.

Police said the suspect allegedly ripped two chains from the woman's neck as she was boarding the train, snatched them just before the doors closed, and then fled the station on foot.

The woman was not injured in the attack, officials said.

Authorities said they are searching for a man with a dark complexion who was last seen wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt, dark-colored pants, white sneakers and carrying a book bag.

Police released an image of a person they say is connected to the incident and asked that anyone with information in regard to this incident call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
