Another N train mugging

Subway mugging

Two thugs armed with a knife and a handgun robbed a man as he stood on a Bay Parkway subway platform on Oct. 20.

The victim, 43, told cops he entered the Bay Parkway N-train station, at the corner of West Seventh Street, at around midnight. As he walked past the two suspects on the train platform, one of them grabbed him from behind, held a knife to his neck and threatened, “Don’t move!”

The second thug pulled out a silver gun and held it at the victim’s side, again ordering him not to move. The two men then grabbed a necklace off of the victim’s neck, pushed him to the ground and fled out of the station.
