The New York Police Department is looking for a man who robbed an elderly New York City woman who is captured on video trying to give him money.
In a Sunday morning video shared by Crime Stoppers, an 82-year-old woman is seen extending her hand with cash at around 6 a.m. EDT when the suspect reaches forward with his left hand, appearing to accept the generous cash offer.
The man – who is wearing a black hoodie, gray sweatpants and tennis shoes – quickly reaches for the woman’s purse with his right hand, pulling hard at the money before running around the corner in the vicinity of Miller Avenue and New Lots Avenue.
The woman stumbles to the left of the sidewalk, toward the street, before falling down.
