BRONX - A heartless robber threw an elderly woman to the ground when he tried to steal her purse in broad daylight, cops said.



At around 3:40 pm on August 28, an 81-year-old woman was walking in front of a store at 3998 White Plains Road. Cops said a teenage male ran up to her and grabbed the woman’s handbag. 


As the elderly victim held onto the bag, the robber dragged her and crashed her to the sidewalk. 


The mugger left empty handed as he ran eastbound on East 226th Street. 



The victim was transported by EMS to nearby Montefiore Medical Center. She suffered injuries to her elbows and knees but is listed in stable condition. 


The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect who was seen on tape riding a razor scooter. He is described as a male who is 18 years old, has a slim build and a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing black and gray beanie, a blue hoodie, blue jeans, and 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). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
