NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man forced a woman to a sidewalk and snatched an iPhone from her hand in a robbery this week in Lower Manhattan, police said Wednesday as they released video of a suspect.
The 57-year-old victim was walking at Catherine and Cherry Streets in the Two Bridges neighborhood just after 5 a.m. Tuesday when the man approached from behind and pushed her to the ground.
