Byron Johnson allegedly robs Ruben Flores

While he was “getting up off the bowl” of a toilet in the West 135th Street subway station, the deponent [Flores] was “pushed up against” by the defendant [Johnson], who “did place his hand in [deponent’s] left hand pocket and did take therefrom [$15 cash and a $7 check].” Shortly after, a police officer witnessed the defendant “enter a taxicab by one door and [exit] out the other door,” before entering a Lenox Avenue beer garden, where he was identified and arrested.
