A woman is in the hospital after she was shot on a Brooklyn subway platform during a robbery Sunday night, according to police sources.
The shooting happened just before midnight at the President Street-Medgar Evers College Station.
Investigators say the suspect stole the 18-year-old’s purse on the southbound 2 and 5 platform. The robber then shot her before running off.
The teen was taken to the hospital, where she is expected to survive, according to NYPD officials.
Overnight, detectives were seen going in and out of the subway station and into a nearby deli, searching for surveillance video to track down the shooter.
Police sources say they are looking for a man wearing a red Yankees hat with a white logo, black shorts, black sneakers, a black face mask and a backpack.
