Woman found dead with bags on head
A heartless mugger choked a 64-year-old woman on a Manhattan street and made off with her pocketbook, shocking video released by police shows.
The crook came up behind the victim, got her in a headlock and took her to the ground on E. 29th St. near First Ave. in Kips Bay about 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
The woman, unable to put up much of a fight, was left facedown on the pavement as the man walked off with her purse, which had her cash and phone inside.
The victim was treated for cuts on both elbows and her right knee.
Her assailant, who was wearing a mask and a cap with lettering on it, has not been caught. Cops are asking the public’s help identifying him and tracking him down.
