A homeless man who has been busted three times for robbery since July was arrested again on Friday for allegedly stealing a victim’s wallet in a Midtown subway station, police sources said.

Harris was arrested near the scene early the next day and charged with robbery, according to sources.
Monday marked Harris’ fourth robbery arrest since July 10, sources said.
All of his alleged crimes took place in the Midtown area.
