Violent Robbery in Subway; Dog Walkers Beat Senior on E. 68th Street

The NYPD is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the individual in connection with a robbery that occurred within the confines of the 17 Precinct / Transit District 4. Details are as follows:

A 21-year-old male victim was standing on the northbound R train platform at the Lexington Avenue 59th Street subway station at approximately 3:40 p.m. on July 8 when two unidentified men approached him from behind and pushed him to the ground.

The two brutes then began punching and kicking the victim before forcibly removing the victim’s Apple iPhone 16. Both men fled the location on foot and one individual, as captured in a surveillance photo, exited through the turnstile. An image of the other suspect has eluded cops so far.

The victim sustained bruising and swelling to the face and he was transported by EMS to New York- Presbyterian/Weil Cornell Medical Center in stable condition.

The male who was captiured on video is described as having a dark complexion and short black hair. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and green sneakers.

Dog Walking Duo Beats Senior at 3rd Ave. & E. 68th Street

The couple that walks a dog together might deliver a beat down to a senior together also.

That’s the apparent story from the 19th Precinct, where cops are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the dog walking duo wanted for the heinous tag-team assault. Details are as follows:

On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at approximately 10:24 p.m, A 67-year-old male victim and two unidentified individuals engaged in a verbal dispute on June 25, at approximately 10:24 p.m, at the intersection of East 68th Street and 3rd Avenue.

During the dispute, one of the unidentified individuals pushed the victim causing him to fall.

While the victim was on the ground, the male suspect struck the victim with a closed fist multiple times. The female suspect kicked the victim about the body. The medium sized black dog doesn’t appear to have participated in the attack, perhaps because it was leashed and muzzled.

The couple and their dog then fled on foot, traveling northbound on 3rd Avenue to parts unknown. The victim sustained minor injuries but refused medical attention at the scene.

The male suspect is described as a man with a light complexion. He appears to be of thin to medium build, perhaps muscular, and was last seen wearing a blue t-shirt, tan pants and white sneakers.

The female is described as having medium complexion and indeterminate ethnicity. She appears athletic and was last seen wearing gray t-shirt, short gray shorts, and white sneakers.
