Manhattan subway station robbery suspect arrested

Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Police in Brooklyn arrested a man early Thursday believed to be behind a string of armed robberies in New York City subway stations.

The man, believed to be responsible for at least five robberies, is being questioned in a total of eight incidents, all but one on the subway, between November 17 and November 20.

The break apparently came after one victim was robbed on the F train at the Avenue U station in Sheepshead Bay.

Detectives responded and used the Google app on the victim's phone, then canvassing the area with the victim. They reportedly spotted the suspect, and the victim confirmed his identity.
