INWOOD, NY — Police are looking for a man wanted in connection to a recent robbery in an Inwood train station near the end of December.

A 58-year-old woman was standing inside the "1" train station at 10th Avenue and West 215 Street, when an attacker attempted to rip her purse from her hands, according to police.

The robbery took place at 2 p.m. on Dec. 22, according to police.

After a subsequent struggle between the attacker and victim, the man was able to pry the woman's cell phone and credit cards from her jacket, police said.
