A man grabbed the iPhone out of the hand of a 30-year-old woman, who was seated in a northbound train pulling into the Rector Street station, and then fled the scene. Using the ‘Find My iPhone’ app, cops successfully tracked the phone to a store in Brooklyn, whose manager told them that a man tried to sell him a phone minutes prior to the cops’ arrival at the store.
