BRONX - A woman was mugged by a purse snatcher across from the home of horror master Edgar Allan Poe. 


At around 11 am on January 6, a 26-year-old woman was in front of 229 Kingsbridge, across the street from the landmarked Edgar Allan Poe cottage. A man walked up behind and yanked her purse from her arm. The purse opened and $1,850 in cash spilled to the ground.
