Feb. 15, 2021 By Allie Griffin

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). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

Put transit police back in stations and on trains. This is absolutely absurd. Details on suspect?

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
