Police are searching for a man who allegedly stole a woman’s iPhone at the Lorimer Street J/M subway station last week.
The suspect approached the 43-year-old victim from behind at around 5:10 p.m. on March 11 as she was heading down the stairs toward the J train. He placed an unknown object on her back before stealing her iPhone and fleeing the train station, according to police.

He was last seen wearing a dark sweat jacket with white strips, dark sweat pants with white stripes, white Nike sneakers and a silver metal chain. He was carrying an unknown black object in his right hand.
