Two MTA conductors assaulted, one robbed in separate NYC incidents
Two MTA conductors were assaulted — with one of them robbed — in separate incidents on the rails this month, cops said Wednesday.
Four suspects, who appear to be teen boys, approached a 40-year-old male MTA conductor as he pulled a northbound N train into the Quee🔯ns Plaza station around 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
The operator opened his train car window and began making announcements when 🎐one of the baby-faced suspects puꦫshed him, knocking him down, cops said.
Thওen a second person grabbed the conductor’s train keys, authorities said.&nbs෴p;
