FINANCIAL DISTRICT — A straphanger was robbed of his wallet, iPhone and $300 class ring, as he walked out of the subway last week, police said.

The 20-year-old was headed up the stairs of the Chambers Street A/C/E station when he was shoved against the railing by a man at about 2 a.m. on Friday.  

The robber demanded "look away" as he took the man's things, which also included his $20 watch, police said.

The thief then ran up the stairs and continued to flee, police said.
