FORT GREENE — A stranger put a 14-year-old boy in a headlock and stole his iPhone as he was walking into a Fort Greene subway station last week, police said.
The boy was walking into the Lafayette Avenue A/C station, at Fulton Street and South Portland Avenue, at 4 p.m. on June 10 when the suspect approached him and put him in a headlock, according to the NYPD.
The suspect repeatedly asked the boy, “Where do you live?” according to police.
He then grabbed the boy’s iPhone and took off, police said.
The boy refused medical attention at the scene, police said.
Police did not release a description of the suspect.
Other notable crimes from the 84th and 88th precincts include:
► A man entered a bank at 126 Flatbush Avenue Extension at 9 a.m. on June 6 and passed a note to the teller that read, “All the money or I start hurting people,” police said. The teller refused to give the man money, and he fled eastbound across Flatbush Avenue.
► A 58-year-old woman was standing at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Livingston Street at 3 p.m. on June 8 waiting for the traffic light to change and calling her mother on her cellphone when an unknown man took the phone from her hand and fled, police said.
