A teen and a boy covered a woman’s face with a shirt before stealing her belongings and pushing her to the ground on a Brooklyn street, police say.
The NYPD says it’s still searching for the duo nearly a month after they attacked the 37-year-old woman in Park Slope.
On Monday, police released video of the duo allegedly shoplifting from a grocery store on Prospect Park West shortly before the attack in early July.
The woman was walking on Prospect Avenue around 10 p.m. when the 16-year-old threw a shirt over her head, police said. With her guard down, the 12-year-old boy stole the woman’s wallet and Samsung cellphone from her purse, according to police, who said the wallet had $300 in it.
The teen and the boy then pushed the woman to the ground and took off down Prospect Avenue before continuing down Eighth Avenue, police said.
The woman cut her elbow when she fell to the ground, but refused medical attention at the scene.
The NYPD asks anyone with information about the robbery to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
