Idiot Who Assaulted And Robbed Elderly Man In Midwood Stared Right Into A Surveillance Camera

At least this low-life is making it easy for the cops.

Moments before slugging a 73-year-old man in the face and robbing him of his wallet, a perp gave authorities a clear view of his face when he stared into a surveillance camera that captured both suspect and victim.

The thug was filmed entering the elevator of an apartment building on East 13th Street between Avenue O and Avenue P on Wednesday, September 17, at noon. Both he and the victim got on at the same time. As they arrived on the fourth floor, the suspect punched the septuagenarian in the face, rifled through his pants and made off with his wallet.

The victim suffered a laceration when he fell to the ground. He was taken to a local hospital, and was treated and released.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.
