Three masked men sought for snatching gold chains from 7 train rider at Main Street-Flushing subway station: NYPD

Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are looking for a trio of turnstile-jumping, chain-snatching robbers who targeted a 7 train rider at the Main Street subway station late last month.

The incident took place on the night of Thursday, Sept. 26, when a 24-year-old man was walking through the Main Street-Flushing subway station just before 8 p.m. Three strangers confronted him, snatched two gold chains from his neck and fled in an unknown direction, according to police. The victim was not injured in the robbery.

Op-ed: Time to register, license, and insure motorized two-wheelers before our streets become even more dangerous

Businesses are feeling the impact. From Astoria to Flushing, sidewalks and streets that once allowed shoppers to stroll safely have become obstacle courses where two-wheelers zip past at alarming speeds, weaving between pedestrians and cars with little regard for the rules of the road. When customers are concerned for their safety, they are less likely to visit, which hurts both business owners and the wider local economy. Haphazardly parked two-wheelers frequently block sidewalks and parking spaces in our commercial corridors, making it more difficult for customers to access our local businesses. This is especially true for seniors and individuals with mobility issues, who now have the added challenge of navigating around e-vehicles to shop at their favorite stores or eat at their favorite restaurants.
