A pair of muggers yanked a 62-year-old woman by the hair and put her in a headlock as they swiped her cell phone at an Upper West Side subway station early Monday, cops said.
The victim was standing on the No. 1 train mezzanine area at the 96th Street station around 3:45 a.m. when two men in their 20s approached and demanded her phone, police said.
The men pulled her by the hair and put her in a headlock before grabbing the phone and running off, authorities said.
The victim claimed she either felt or saw that the suspects had a sharp object, but they did not use it to attack her, cops said.
She did not report any injuries and refused medical attention, police said.
