The woman was walking her French bulldog into 61 Broadway in the Financial District on the afternoon of June 21, when the man followed her into the same partition of a revolving door, video shows.

As the woman and man were crammed together in the revolving door, the man tried to grab the dog in plain view of passersby.

The woman was taken to an area hospital for a head injury.

The dog was not injured.

The suspect fled the location, police said. A surveillance image released Friday shows him walking down a street.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
