The NYPD is asking the public’s help in locating two men who robbed an 81-year-old man before pushing him onto the subway tracks in Brooklyn.
Police say one of the suspects stole the man’s iPhone and when the victim gave chase the other suspect pushed the man, causing him to fall on the tracks.
The victim was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.
The incident occurred Friday at the Lorimer Street subway station while the victim was waiting for a J train.
Surveillance cameras captured images of both suspects, both of whom appear to be between the ages of 16 and 18, police said.
The suspect who snatched the iPhone is about 6 feet tall and was wearing a black Adidas sweatshirt and black sneakers at the time of the incident. The second suspect is about 5 feet 8 inches tall. He wore a red shirt, jeans and white sneakers.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.

I have a strong feeling that these two criminals are part of the 49.5% that don’t pay any income tax.
