Police are after a man who snatched a straphanger’s iPhone from a subway in our area last week.

On Tuesday, March 24 at just after 8am, police say that as a 3 train was entering the Grand Army Plaza subway station, a teen shoved a 48-year-old woman, grabbing her phone before heading off the train to parts unknown — and then, apparently snapped a selfie that was retrieved by a security app on the phone.

The suspect is described as a black man around 16 years old and about 5’5″ tall who was last seen wearing a red bubble jacket, a gray hooded sweatshirt, and dark colored pants.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s crime stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). You can also submit tips by logging onto the [crime stoppers website](/blog/crime/WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM) or by texting tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577\. Police say all calls are confidential.
