NYC dude gets robbed by candy selling brehs though an app

It’s the future of stick ups.

A pair of goons allegedly mugged a Manhattan teenager Sunday by snatching his cell phone and transferring $100 to their bank account through an app — only for the kid to turn the tables on them in an equally tech-savvy way.

The 21st-century street robbery happened just before 3 p.m. Sunday at the 4 train subway station at Union Square, when the 17-year-old said he was approached by a man peddling candy at the station.

“He gave me a story about how the candy was for his daughter’s graduation or something like that,” the teen, who gave his name as Zach, told The Post Monday. “I had a few dollars on me so I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll buy some candy.’”

He plunked down $2 for Airheads and Fruit Roll-Ups.

That’s when Zach said the guy and a buddy noticed he had a cash app open on his cell phone — as the teen was checking his Chase bank balance.

The two men then approached him and demanded he buy more candy.

“I started putting my phone in my pocket and he started laughing at me,” the teen said. “He called his friend over and his friend was like, ‘Hey, you helped him out, you gonna help me out now?’”

He started getting mad. He was like, ‘Wow, that’s some b-tch sh-t,’” Zach recounted. “I should poke you.’ He reached into his pocket like he was going to take out a knife. He was pretty much like, ‘Don’t move or I’m going to stab you.’”

They demanded his iPhone 7S and the teen, intimidated, turned it over

Dude has no street smarts whatsoever


Why would you leave your phone screen on w/ your cash app open while giving strangers money


Also why would the candy selling brehs put their bank info in the victim phone AND do a robbery where a police station is right inside of Union Square
