BROOKLYN — A woman awoke on the A train in Downtown Brooklyn to find two men holding her down and stealing her debit card, Samsung cellphone, wallet and keys, police said.

The pair had not been arrested as of Friday morning, police said.

The 30-year-old woman, whose name was not released, dozed off during her journey but woke up near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station as the men, who can be seen in surveillance photos released by police, robbed her on April 15, NYPD officials said.

Police did not know what time the robbery took place.

The two thieves fled the train and used the card at two separate banks to withdraw cash, police said. Investigators don't know how much money they took.

One of the suspects wore a black T-shirt with matching pants and baby blue sneakers, police said.

The other had a bright blue zip-up hoodie with gray pants and white sneakers, police said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
