BRONX - A Bronx straphanger woke up to a mugging on a subway train in Wakefield. 





At around 4:48 am on September 25, a 46-year-old man was sleeping on a northbound Number 2 train. Cops say at the East 241st Street - Wakefield Station, a man walked over to the straphanger and woke him up.

 



The startled victim began to walk away when the man who woke him up began punching him. The attacker removed the straphanger’s wallet and fled the train at the station. 




Cops say the victim suffered minor cuts to his forehead and the right side of his face.  


The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect on the train platform.
