FINANCIAL DISTRICT —  Two robbers attacked a straphanger riding the 2 train last week, grabbing a $1,200 bracelet off the victim's wrist, and snatching his iPhone and $400 Beats headphones last week, police said.

The man was riding a southbound 2 train at about 8 a.m. on June 13 when the male robbers lunged at him, according to the NYPD. One stomped on his foot and snatched the phone and headphones, before the other ripped the bracelet off his wrist, police said.

Both fled from the train at the Park Place station, the NYPD said.
