NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a machete-wielding maniac who robbed a boy of his sneakers on a Bronx subway train and then punched a good Samaritan who tried to help the victim.<\/p>\n
The NYPD released images Wednesday of the suspect in Sunday night’s robbery aboard a northbound 2 train in the Longwood section.<\/p>\n
According to police, the train was rolling down the tracks near the Intervale Avenue station around 11:15 p.m. when the suspect removed the machete from a black book bag and robbed the 15-year-old victim.<\/p>\n
He stole the teen’s shoes, and when a 25-year-old man tried to intervene, he punched him in the face, police said.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old suffered minor injuries, while the 15-year-old was not physically hurt, according to police.<\/p>\n
The NYPD believes the suspect is in his late teens or early 20s.<\/p>\n
