If I had a hammer ....

There’s something that might have gone unnoticed in the furor over the recent hammer attack on a SEPTA subway train.

It’s something that happened after the victim was brutally beaten by a man wielding a hammer.

As if that was not enough, police now believe the man who was the target was victimized once again.

Police say surveillance video shows a man entering the SEPTA train after the hammer suspect and victim tumbled out onto the platform.

On entering the train, another man spots a cell phone on the floor, picks it up, and promptly pockets it. The cell phone belonged to the 20-year-old beaten by the hammer-wielding suspect.

Nice.

It is not known if the man realized the cell phone belonged to the victim, who was listening to it with ear buds when he was attacked.

Police are now looking for the man seen in the video wearing a backpack who pocketed the phone.
