Man pushed down stairs and robbed at Queens tube station

On Tuesday, police said a man was pushed down stairs and robbed with a knife at a Queens subway station.

The 30-year-old victim was climbing stairs at the 169th Street station in Jamaica Hills when two men approached him and pushed him backwards around 11:25 p.m. last Wednesday, police said.

When the man fell to the floor, one of the robbers flashed a knife and demanded cash.

After the victim told the attackers he had no money, police said they instead snatched his mobile phone from his hands.

The thieves ran out of the train station, leaving their victim with minor injuries.

Police are still looking for the men involved and are asking the public for help in identifying them.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
