The police are looking for a man who tried to rob a teenager at gunpoint while on board a 7 train in Queens last Wednesday.
The suspect approached a 19-year-old straphanger at around 10:35 p.m. while onboard a Manhattan-bound 7 train and then demanded his phone. The thief then punched the teen multiple times in the face before displaying a firearm.

Police have released video of the suspect that was taken in the vicinity of the incident.
