Police looking for suspect wanted in subway robbery

Philadelphia Police are looking for a man who they said took a 17-year-old girl’s phone at the Susquehanna-Dauphin stop on the Broad Street Line last week.

On Nov. 5, the girl entered the subway at the Olney stop and, after a short time, the man approached her, took the phone and fled the train, police said. The girl chased the man, but could not catch up to him.

The suspect is described by police as a black male of light complexion, wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt and black pants.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Central Detective Division of the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-3093.
