BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — Police are searching for a teen who robbed a 22-year-old man of cash at a Brooklyn C train station.
The unnamed suspect was with 16-year-old Naijee Calliste on Christmas Eve around 8 p.m. at the Ralph Avenue station when they approached the victim, police said.
Calliste pretended to have a gun in his pocket and the duo took $100 from the man and fled, according to officials.
Police arrested Calliste on Jan. 17 and charged him with robbery, according to an NYPD spokesman. He is being charged as an adult, police said, and was released on his own recognizance, according to court records.
He was previously arrested in 2016 on charges of petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and robbery, an NYPD spokesman said.
Attorney information for Calliste was not immediately available.
Police are still searching for the other teen, who they released photos of on Tuesday.
Officials said he is 14 to 16 years old and is between 5 feet tall to 5 feet 3 inches, weighing 130 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, black sneakers and a green baseball cap.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or to submit their tips at the Crime Stoppers website.
