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.

The victim refused medical attention at the scene.
