A woman robbed a straphanger at knifepoint inside a lower Manhattan subway subway station during Wednesday morning rush-hour, police said.
The victim was on the 2/3 train platform at the Fulton Street station around 9:30 a.m. when the mugger flashed a knife at her and grabbed the contents of her purse, according to the NYPD.
The suspect then ran off and was in the wind Wednesday afternoon, cops said.
No additional information was immediately available.
The robbery came the day after a 34-year-old woman was shoved onto subway tracks by a stranger while waiting on the 1/2/3 train platform at Chambers Street.

Outlaw knives.
Just another daughter of Obeyme.
“How do they know the vic is a straphanger if she’s in the station?”
That’s what I was thinking. Does “strafanger” refer to anyone riding the subway, or just one whose actually angering the straf?
I tried looking for details but only one-——count it——story was found. This one. As of 12.44pm today EST.
Why?
I thought “straphanger” meant those riding the subway standing up holding onto the handing straps. But maybe it became a colloquial term for all subway riders?

Time to arm passengers. Time for Bernie Gortz to show himself on the subway again well armed.
Yes, that’s how I read it, to refer to all subway riders.
