Man Attempts to Rob Teenager at Gunpoint on 7 Train: NYPD

Dec. 7, 2021 By Christian Murray

The police are looking for a man who tried to rob a teenager at gunpoint while on board a 7 train in Queens last Wednesday.

The suspect approached a 19-year-old straphanger at around 10:35 p.m. while onboard a Manhattan-bound 7 train and then demanded his phone. The thief then punched the teen multiple times in the face before displaying a firearm.

The alleged perpetrator fled the train with nothing when it entered the Willets Point subway station. The teenager declined medical attention.

Police have released video of the suspect that was taken in the vicinity of the incident.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Tiffany Caban will want the teenage victim to sit down with the suspect and have a chat on why he did what he did…and then let him go free. Thanks leftists.

Once again. This is NYC as DeBlasio has created during his 2 terms. When will the citizens of NYC understand the implications of emptying the jails, decriminalizing everything but murder and preventing the police from doing their jobs.

Yeah John, you’ll be a hero. Nobody has ever died with a gun in his hand. Exercising a little discretion, awareness and just taking basic safety measures has proven to do more to protect people from crime than a concealed gun. Just ask law enforcement, insurance companies and security firms.

Can Queens’ food scene thrive with both trucks and restaurants?

Aug. 19, 2025 By Jessica Militello

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
