St. and Ft. Washington Ave. subway station in Washington Heights last month according to police.
A fare-beating teen got a life lesson when a crook posing as a cop stole his cell phone.
The 13-year-old boy fell for the con last month after ducking under a turnstile around 4 p.m. at the W. 168th St. and Ft. Washington Ave. subway station in Washington Heights, cops said.
The teen was approached by a man who claimed to be a cop.
Rattled by the mock bust, which went down Oct. 14, the teen didn't protest when the fake cop demanded his phone, according to police.
The bogus officer told the boy he needed the HTC One cell to take pictures —then dashed off with the device.
LMAO... I almost spit out my panna cotta when I read this...
