According to the Brooklyn Paper, two female F-train commuters were mugged in separate incidents at the Carroll Street subway station last Friday morning—and the same gun-wielding man may have been behind the muggings: "The first victim, 56, told cops that she had just gotten off the Coney Island-bound train at around 8:45 am at the President Street end of the station when a man grabbed her purse, pulled a gun on her and said, 'Shut up or I’ll kill you'" and took her purse. "About five minutes later, the same thug approached a second victim, pulling a gun and dragging her to the ground before saying, 'Shut the f— up!'", taking her iPod and Droid phone.
