NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) — Two suspects robbed a 75-year-old man who was trying to leave a Bronx subway station on Wednesday, and police released photos of the duo to help in their investigation.
At about 8:10 a.m. on Wednesday, the victim was attempting to buy a MetroCard in the Prospect Avenue subway station when he was approached by the robbery team.

The 75-year-old refused medical service at the scene, cops said.
The first suspect is described as a 40-year-old male last seen in a green face mask, multi-colored sneakers and black garb.
The second suspect is described as a woman last seen wearing dark clothing and gray sneakers.
