A would-be thief was caught on video chasing down a 65-year-old woman in Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood last week and violently attempting to steal her purse, authorities said Wednesday.
The video shows the hooded man dismount from the bicycle and running after the woman, chasing her down the sidewalk and into the middle of the street. He is seen grabbing hold of her purse and swinging the woman around, but the victim refuses to let go of the purse.
The suspect then punches the victim multiple times in the face and drags her on the ground before punching her again, according to the video. He is later seen fleeing empty-handed from the area on the bicycle.
