The NYPD released surveillance video of the four suspects all dressed in black.

At around 4 pm on February 27, a 33-year-old man was sitting on a northbound Number 4 train in Fordham. As the train approached the Jerome Avenue and West 183rd Street subway station, a group of four males surrounded the straphanger.
