The victim was leaving the 75th Avenue subway station in Forest Hills at 8 p.m. Wednesday when two people came up and bashed him on the head with a firearm, according to police.

The duo beat the man in the head repeatedly before stealing his watch, jewelry and $1,000 in cash, police said. They then fled the station on foot.

The victim suffered lacerations to his head and was taken to Queens Hospital Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

The NYPD released surveillance footage Friday showing one of the two suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
