A group of six people surrounded a 49-year-old man onboard a 7 train last week and stole his iPhone in Corona.

Four men and two women gathered around the man on the train just before 1 a.m. on March 14. One of men pushed him into a seat, while others grabbed his iPhone 12 from his pocket, police said.

The group got off the subway at Junction Boulevard and fled with the phone. Police released photos of the suspects.

The victim wasn’t injured in the theft, police said.
