A 26-year-old woman was pinned inside a subway turnstile in Rego Park Tuesday by a man who grabbed her wallet during a struggle, police said.

The victim was walking through a full-height security turnstile at around 11:40 a.m. at the 63 Drive Rego Park station when a man grabbed her and trapped her inside.

The woman resisted and fought back and during the struggle the suspect snatched her wallet from her hand.

The man then fled the subway station. The victim was not injured.

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).

Glad they got him, but he’s probably out on bail about now. He ambushed her and basically held her hostage, which should be a federal offense. Where are the cops?

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
