NYPD Seeking Man Who Threatened Two People At Church Avenue Subway Station

The NYPD is asking for the public’s help in identifying the man in the photos above who is wanted for “menacing” two individuals at a local subway station last week.

Police say they received a report that last Thursday, at 08:40am, a 26-year-old man (victim #1) was exiting the Church Avenue B/Q subway station when the suspect in question grabbed him and started yelling.

At this point, another person (victim #2) attempted to assist the first man. The suspect then started yelling at both of them, removed a box cutter from his pocket, and threatened them with it. Both victims fled the scene. There were no reported injuries, police said.

The suspect is a black male in his forties, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 170 pounds, say cops.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
