Would-be Brooklyn robber loses his shorts — then leaves empty-handed

A would-be Brooklyn robber not only left empty handed after his victim repeatedly fought him off — but also briefly lost his shorts amid the struggle.

The caught-on-camera confrontation unfolded as the suspect tried to steal money from a 25-year-old man on 54th Street near 7th Avenue in Sunset Park at about 2:40 p.m. on July 12, according to police. The suspect knocked the victim to the ground and unsuccessfully tried to steal the victim’s cash as he dragged him on the sidewalk, according to the surveillance footage provided by police.
