A maniac took a woman’s cell phone and pointed a knife in her face during a subway robbery in Queens last week, police said.
The 33-year-old victim accidentally dropped her phone on the 179th Street F-line south platform on June 4 in Jamaica around 7:50 p.m., police said.
The suspect then picked it up and fled the station with it as the woman chased him.
When the woman caught up with him outside the station, the guy pulled out a knife and waved it in her face before bizarrely throwing her phone into the street.
The suspect ran away while the woman grabbed her phone.
Police released surveillance images of the suspect on Saturday evening, showing him lurking in the subway station.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
