NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Three thieves laughed as they violently robbed a 76-year-old woman in the lobby of a Bronx apartment building in an attack that left the victim with a broken hip, police said and video shows.
The NYPD released video Monday of the disturbing robbery near Roberts and Hobart avenues in Pelham Bay around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
The victim tried to close the door on the suspects, but they pushed their way into the lobby, where one of them pulled her by her hair, according to police.
A second suspect then grabbed her purse and forcibly swung her around, causing her to fall to the ground, police said.
The victim was taken to Jacobi Medical Center with a fractured hip.
The suspects fled on foot towards Hobart Avenue with the victim’s purse, which contained $50, a wallet, a debit card and insurance cards, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
