Authorities say the 18-year-old from Denmark was walking in to the Union Square subway station during rush hour Thursday when a man removed his "Make America Great Again" hat off his head.
The victim tried to get his hat back, but the other suspect then threatened him with a knife.
The two suspects then ran off.
