Police are searching for a suspect who beat a 12-year-old and stole his bike at a Forest Hills subway station Thursday.
The suspect approached the boy inside the mezzanine level of the 67th Avenue subway station at about 5:20 p.m. and began punching him, police said.
He punched the boy in the head and throughout his body and then forcibly grabbed his bicycle. He fled with the bike on a Manhattan-bound train.
The victim refused medical attention, police said.
Anyone with information in regard to the identity of the male is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Put transit police back in stations and on trains. This is absolutely absurd. Details on suspect?
Find him and lock his ass up. Virtual studying from Rikers. No more time for BS. Enough!! After doing time and mandated into a program to find out what’s going on with the kid and his family. Maybe he’ll learn.
White male around 17 years old
This is not what the precinct described. It was stated as Hispanic male late teens.
Indeed. It is quite apparent in the video.
