BRONX - A baby-faced mugger robbed a man at knifepoint as he was riding on an MTA bus in the Bronx, the NYPD said. 



At around 7:20 pm on February 15, an 18-year-old man was riding an MTA bus on Webster Avenue in Morrisania. Cops said a young man walked up behind him and pulled out a knife. The suspect demanded the victim’s property. 


The knife-wielding robber grabbed the victim’s cellphone and ran out of the bus. 



The victim was not injured. 


The suspect’s image was captured on the bus’ surveillance cameras. The suspect, who did not cover his face, is described as a male with a medium build and a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, black pants, black sneakers, and a black knit hat.
