A 33-year-old man who tried to rob an iPhone from a 13-year-old boy on a Queens subway train platform, was struck by a train as he tried to escape on April 5, police said.
The robbery suspect was at the Manhattan-bound M train near the Northern Boulevard station in Woodside at around 8 a.m., according to authorities and MTA officials.
Subway service was suspended for nearly an hour as police investigated the incident from the 65th St. station between the boroughs on the E, F, M, and R lines.
The alleged thief punched a good Samaritan who tried to stopped the mugger from robbing the boy, authorities said.
The robbery suspect made it to the express track, when he was hit by an oncoming train.
