Inside the car, a group of five men are patrolling the area as if searching for a target, some of whom are hiding their faces with masks or hoodies.

The target was a woman in green clothes who had gotten up from her seat.

As the door opened, one of the men grabbed the woman’s arm as she tried to get out, and then a larger man came around from outside, put his hands on the woman’s shoulders and pushed her back into the car, as if to say, “Don’t get out.”

The man reaches for his smartphone while talking to the woman, as if to say, “Give me your contact information,” then takes the phone from her and operates it next to his own smartphone.

However, the next moment the train doors opened, the men with the smartphones fled.

The woman tried to chase after him, but was blocked by the large man’s body. It seems the man was trying to buy time for the other men to escape, but the woman refused to give up and continued to push forward desperately.

Unexpected resistance…the victim gives chase

The man, who had been walking slowly away from the victim who was chasing him, turned around and made a mad dash, as if surprised.

Although they managed to steal the phone, the men encountered unexpected resistance and have yet to be caught. Philadelphia Police have released the video and are asking for information about the five-man robbery.
