Caught on Camera
What Happens:
In the video, you can see the man sitting on the train wearing his Canada Goose coat when a teen walks straight up to him and demands his coat.
The teenage suspect forcefully removes the man’s coat before telling him, "If you snitch, imma crush your b**** a**." The suspect then repeated the threat, saying, "imma crush you."
The man stood up, again saying he "wasn’t going to snitch." The suspect then walked back over to the victim with his hand in his pocket, making it appear as though he had a gun.
They have another verbal exchange before the man runs away from the two teenage suspects.
Suspects in Custody
What we know:
Metro Transit Police says they arrested the two suspects in Maryland for unrelated crimes and police are working with the Office of the Attorney General for D.C. to also file charges for the coat robbery.
WMATA recently told FOX 5 that they've increased security on trains and at Metro stations — something riders agree is needed.
