The suspect approached the woman on the platform of a Manhattan-bound E train at around 8:40 p.m. on Oct. 18, grabbed her phone from her hand and ran away, according to police.

The suspect is described as black, approximately 5′.9″, 145lbs, and was wearing a gray sweatshirt, and green pants. The woman was not injured, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477)
