Police from the 107th Precinct in Fresh Meadows and Transit District 20 are searching for two men in connection with a robbery that occurred inside the Sutphin Boulevard F Train subway station last month.
At around 2:15 on the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug. 18, one of the men allegedly grabbed the victim’s wallet from his hand as the second man stood as a lookout, police said. The victim suffered a laceration on his left hand as a result of the robbery.
The suspects ran out of the station and fled on foot eastbound on Hillside Avenue, police said.
Among the items inside the victim’s wallet were debit cards and $20 in cash.

The second suspect is described as a man, also between the ages of 16 and 20, who was last seen wearing a blue mask, a black shirt, black pants and white sneakers, police said.
