Teen Robbed On Woodside Train By Man With Eyebrow Tattoos: NYPD

WOODSIDE, QUEENS — Police are looking for a man who stole a teenager's phone from her hands in the middle of the day as she was riding the subway.

On the afternoon of Saturday June 19, around 3:30 p.m., a man went up to a 17-year-old who was sitting on a 7 train that was stopped in the 69th Street subway station in Woodside, police reported.

The man grabbed the teen's iPhone from her hand, and ran off the train, according to police.

Nearly two weeks later, no arrest have been made and the NYPD said they are still investigating this case. According to police the person who stole the teenager's iPhone has distinctive tattoos over both eyebrows.

This robbery comes after months of citywide disputes about subway safety, and demands to add more cops to the transit system following several high-profile subway attacks.

Although Mayor de Blasio and other agency officials have pushed back against the calls to add more cops to the subway, noting that major crimes are actually down 59 percent in the subways, the mayor promised last month to add 250 more NYPD officers to the subway.

The NYPD asked that anyone with information about this incident call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782) or submit a tip online or on Twitter.
