Below the belt and underground

Police collared a guy they say pleasured himself in front of a woman on the subway before violently robbing her, at Dekalb Avenue on Jan. 10.

The victim told cops she was riding a Coney Island-bound Q train near Flatbush Avenue Ext. at midnight when the suspect allegedly masturbated in front of her.
She told him he will get arrested for that and took her phone out to snap a picture of him, before he allegedly lunged at her, punching her in the face, pushing her to the ground, and grabbing her phone, according to police reports.
When the victim tried to get her cell phone back the suspect allegedly said, “This is my phone now, and you’re trying to steal it from me,” before fleeing out of the train station, police said.
Cops canvassed the area and picked up the suspect on Myrtle and Washington avenues, slapping him with felony robbery charges, according to the authorities.
