3 subway riders robbed at gunpoint near Columbus Circle: cops

Three subway straphangers were robbed at gunpoint aboard a Manhattan train near a bustling Midtown station on Sunday night, police said.

Two thieves targeted the trio of young men — ages 16, 17 and 20 — aboard a southbound D train as it approached the 59th Street/Columbus Circle station at about 8:50 p.m., according to cops.

One of the suspects flashed a gray Glock handgun, and the crooks stole an iPhone and two bags from the victims, police and sources said.

None of the victims were injured, police said.

The suspects fled the train car and were still being sought late Sunday.
