Actor John Cardoza robbed by panhandler in NYC shop, second Broadway star to become crime victim in a day
NY Post
Broadway actor John Cardoza was robbed by a panhandler inside a Manhattan Dunkin Donuts on Easter – the second theater star to become a city crime victim in just one day.
The actor, who is appearing as Young Noah in “The Notebook,” was allegedly held up by a suspect who snatched a wallet with $9 inside after the beggar pretended to have a gun in his pocket in the Hamilton Heights coffee shop at around 1:45 p.m., according to cops and sources.
Cardoza said in an Instagram story that the suspect had asked for cash at the Dunkin Donuts at West 145 Street.
“I offered to buy him lunch because I didn’t have any cash on me, and it escalated from there very quickly,” he wrote.
Cardoza said he was “held at gunpoint” by the man, but police told The Post the suspect did not display a weapon and had instead used his hand to simulate a gun inside his pocket.
“I am fine, ultimately he didn’t make off with anything irreplaceable,” Cardoza said.
