BRONX - A Bronx woman is recovering after being thrown into a wall and bit by a pair of scooter riding purse snatchers, cops said. 


Police released surveillance video which shows the two suspects riding on a red moped. Cops said the same crew and vehicle were used in at least two robberies. 


The first one occurred at around 5:15 pm on July 17. A 41-year-old woman was walking in front of a building at 1875 University Avenue in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx. Two men on the moped rode up on her on the sidewalk. Cops said one of the men grabbed the victim and pushed her into a wall. He then bit the woman and snatched the necklace off her neck. He also forcibly removed a bracelet. 


The robbers then drove off northbound on University Avenue.


The victim was treated at the scene by EMS. Cops said the same crew struck again two days later in the Belmont section of the Bronx near the Arthur Avenue Market. 


At around 3:15 pm on July 19, a 23-year-old woman was walking in front of 2317 Hughes Avenue. Again the thieves rode up behind her on the moped. One of the men yanked the jewelry right off her neck and drove on. 


The victim was treated for minor injuries to the face. 


The suspects are described as males with dark complexions. The driver was last seen wearing a black shirt, gray pants and white sneakers. The passenger/accomplice was last seen wearing a red t-shirt and red baseball cap. He was also seen wearing shorts and white sneakers. 


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
