Photo shows two men wanted in robbery on light rail train

Maryland Transit Administration police released a photograph yesterday of two men they are seeking in connection with an armed robbery last month on a light rail train in the city.

Police say the men got onto the train about 11:30 p.m. Dec. 18 at the North Avenue station and that one of them put a gun to the head of a 15-year-old passenger who was talking on a cellular phone.

The boy gave the men $20 and his phone, police said. Before the robbers got off the train at the Pratt Street station, they returned the phone and $10 of the $20.

Anyone who recognizes either of the men in the photo is asked to call MTA police at 410-454-7720.
