BRONX - Bronx subway mugging hero Alfred Troche, 53, stopped by Bella Pizza at Third Avenue and East 184 Street on where he picked up the latest issue of the Bronx Voice-- with Troche on the cover.


Troche, a Belmont resident, was recognized by members of The Bronx Conservative Party for his actions during an attempted purse snatching of an elderly woman by two still-unidentified men at the Pelham Parkway Station on White Plains Road on March 7.





Troche suffered two slash wounds from a boxcutter as he came to the elderly woman's aid and fought off the two attackers who jumped into a vehicle and fled the scene without the purse.





Elated with his new found celebrity, Troche said he had been in touch with elderly victim, who he said is doing well since the incident. He once again thanked The Bronx Conservative Party for recognizing him last month.
