The NYPD is looking for four individuals who were involved in an assault of a subway conductor on the N line Tuesday and stole the keys to the train.

Police say that the suspects approached the conductor at around 4:15 p.m. at the Queens Plaza Station when the train came to a stop. One of the suspects then pushed the operator, knocking him off his feet. A second person then grabbed the conductor’s train keys.

Police have released images of the suspects as well as video footage.

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).

My sister told me that they look like 4 students in the Ditmars area of Astoria where a junior high school is located. Many usually cause havoc and harass neighbors and customers at the Starbucks and McDonald’s at the Ditmars train station. I told her to call the hotline.

Your sister, with all due respect needs a dictionary

These are not students. Students want to learn. These beings are animals, society parasites, future inmates. Junior hoodlums. (Cause you know they go home to professional hoodlums at home!

The kids have nothing to worry about under the current political situation. They will get a slap on the wrist and some tickets to a Mets game.

Looks like doubling dummies

Looks like 2 sets of pairs. The first 2 coming out of the gate look alike, same nose, facial structure, and color (even if wearing a mask) same goes for the last two, they look similar of each other. Hopefully they will get caught soon before they can use the keys.

I agree that they could pass for the Spice Boys from Stuyvesant high school but if they assaulted a working train conductor they should get jail time, it is a felony. for sure.

I mean when we were kids we would clown around a do bad stuff, but we didnt assault people. I hope these kids rain it in and change their ways before they really go to far and get a couple of Met tickets.

Are ziplined attached to their belts. Or they should be at least

Things these boys likely never heard growing up include their mothers saying “just wait till your father gets home!!!” Whenever they misbehaved.

The suspects remind me of that boy band when i was growing up called Menudo. One of them is queer now and married. I used to have a crush on him.
