NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are looking for a teen girl who attacked two women in separate Manhattan robberies last month.
The most recent robbery happened on Feb. 12, when the suspect pushed a 51-year-old woman to the ground around 6:40 p.m. as she headed west on West 25th Street near 8th Avenue and forcibly removed her cellphone and wallet.
The perp fled the location on foot into the West 33 Street PATH station. The victim sustained injuries to her head but refused medical attention at the scene.
Two days earlier, police said the same crook approached a 75-year-old woman around 6:45 p.m. as she was exiting the Bryant Park restrooms located at West 43rd Street and 6th Avenue.
She approached the victim and forcibly removed her purse. As a result of the force, the victim fell to the ground and sustained an injury to her left hand. The individual fled the location on foot and entered the PATH station.
The victim refused medical attention on the scene, police said. The stolen purse contained the victim's cellphone and wallet, which contained assorted credit cards.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
