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.
