BRONX - Cops arrested a teenager as part of a trio who robbed a subway rider of his sneakers at Fordham Road.



The NYPD announced the arrest of a 16-year-old male and charged him with robbery. Police did not release the name of the suspect because he is a minor.


Cops are still searching for two other suspects.



At around noon on March 31, a 38-year-old man was exiting a southbound D Train at the Fordham Road station. Cops said three young men followed the man off the train and onto the platform. There the group cornered the man and displayed a knife. The robbers forcibly removed the man’s sneakers and his book bag which contained a coat. 


The trio then ran out of the station and were last seen traveling northbound on East 188th Street. 


The victim did not suffer injuries. 


The NYPD released surveillance video from inside a subway car. 


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
