The victim got onto a 2 train at the Pelham Parkway subway station around 7:15 p.m., police said.
When the train got to the 174th Street subway station, a male stepped into the train car and randomly went up to the boy, asking him “Do you know me? You’re going to know me today.”
After confronting the victim, the suspect punched him in the chest and stole a chain from the boy’s neck, officials said.
The attacker then fled the chain while the victim stayed on, eventually getting off at the Simpson Avenue train station. He refused medical attention.
Cops said the person they are looking for is about 16-years-old, medium complexion, medium build with brown eyes and short dark, braided hair. He was last seen wearing a white tank top, white t-shirt, dark colored pants, surgical mask, black sneakers and a cross body sling backpack.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
