BRONX - A pair of teens repeatedly punched a woman in the face as they robbed her purse inside a Bronx laundromat, cops said.


The NYPD is looking for a pair of teenage girls who attacked a 43-year-old woman inside a laundromat at 2558 Olinville Avenue. Police released surveillance video of the suspects inside the laundromat.



At around 9 pm on June 1, the teens approached a woman inside the laundromat and began arguing with her. Then the girls grabbed the victim’s purse. As the woman tried to hold on, the teens began punching her in the face. Staggered, the victim let go of the purse and the attackers ran out. 



Cops said the victim suffered swelling and bruising but refused medical attention at the scene. 


The suspects are described as two females with medium builds and medium complexions. They are both between the ages of 16 and 18.



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).
