Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst and Transit District 20 are looking for three suspects who allegedly assaulted and robbed an E train rider in Elmhurst in the early morning of Tuesday, March 31.
The 37-year-old victim was on a Manhattan-bound E train at around 3 a.m. when he was approached by three strangers, who punched him multiple times in his body before they forcibly removed his headphones. As the train entered the Grand Avenue-Newtown subway station, the victim and his assailants spilled out onto the platform, where the man tried to get his headphones back. The trio attacked him again, punching and kicking him repeatedly before boarding another Manhattan-bound E train to parts unknown, police said. The victim sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene by EMS. The value of the stolen headphones is approximately $140.
