A man was robbed at gunpoint inside the Union Turnpike F train subway station in Kew Gardens last week, according to authorities.
Police from the 112th Precinct in Forest Hills and Transit District 20 are looking for two suspects who were on the southbound F train at around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 17, when they approached the 26-year-old victim on board a southbound F train as it entered the Union Turnpike station. One of the suspects allegedly pulled out a handgun and removed the rider’s backpack which contained his approximately $800 in cash, a cellphone and clothing.
