The suspect swiped his wallet from the senior's left rear pocket. Authorities said the wallet had $4,700 in cash and a debit card.
The elderly victim reported theft on Sunday, while suspects in their late 20s or early 30s still have a loose end to Monday, officers and sources said.
The latest NYPD data shows that it has been declining so far within the city's subway system, but so far it has been declining, with 188 such incidents reported as of Sunday.
