FLATIRON — A woman and two men jumped an 18-year-old at the 28th Street N/R subway station, beating him and stealing his wallet, police said.

Samantha Ruiz, 18, Abdoulaye Sow, 25, and Abdoulaye Diallo, 25, all of the Bronx, followed their victim into the station at Broadway and West 28th Street shortly after noon on Jan. 9, authorities said.

Once inside the station, the group punched and kicked the man, and took off with his wallet, police said.

Police caught up with the suspects shortly after the incident and arrested them, according to officials.

The victim sustained injuries to the head, face, shoulder and back, police said.

While searching the trio, police found Ruiz and Sow in possession of cocaine and marijuana, according to a police report.

Prosecutors charged the three with robbery and assault, and slapped Ruiz and Sow with additional charges of drug possession, according to court records.

Lawyers for the suspects did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
