BRONX - Police are searching for a headphone-wearing porch pirate who attacked and robbed FedEx deliveryman inside the lobby of a Bronx building. The whole attack was caught on camera. 




At around 12:40 pm on September 19, a 61-year-old Fed Ex deliveryman was in the vestibule of a Bronx apartment building. The deliveryman had his hands full of packages by the lobby door when a well-dressed man wearing headphones started talking to him. 


The deliveryman appears to look through his packages and then walks away. The head-phone wearing man is seen on video lunging toward FedEx worker. 




Cops said the man on the video kicked the deliveryman and grabbed a package out of the man’s hands. He then ran out of the building and fled in an unknown direction. 


The victim refused medical attention at the scene. 


The suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion and facial hair. He was last seen wearing a black button down shirt, white pants and black shoes. He had a black shoulder bag and wore large black headphones.
