NEW YORK - A mugger who attacked an 83-year-old man in the Bronx has now been linked to a series of robberies in Manhattan.



Investigators released new surveillance video of the suspect wanted for two robberies in the Bronx. They believe the same man robed two people in Murray Hill 15 minutes apart. 


At around 9:30 am on September 15, a 38-year-old woman was walking in the vicinity of Park Avenue and East 39th Street. Cops said the man wearing large rose gold Beats headphones ripped the cellphone out of the woman’s hands and ran off towards Madison Avenue.

Fifteen minutes later the same man approached a 51-year-old woman who was walking on East 34th Street between Madison Avenue and 5th Avenue. Cops said the man forcibly removed the cellphone from her hands before running off. 


Investigators linked the same suspect to two robberies in the Bronx last month.


At around 12:30 pm on September 12, an 83-year-old man was walking in the vicinity of East 169th Street and Simpson Street. A young man approached the senior and displayed a knife.



Cops said the robber removed the elderly victim’s wallet and cash. The suspect then fled on foot on East 167th Street heading toward Southern Boulevard. 


Cops believe the same suspect struck a half hour earlier when he robbed a man inside a subway train. 


At around noon on September 12, a 24-year-old man was riding on a southbound Number 2 train in the Bronx. As the train approached the Freeman Street train station, a man in a white hoodie approached him.


Cops said the man in the hoodie forcibly removed the victim’s backpack and then fled the train.
