N.Y. Mugger Sought After Attacks on Elderly Women
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York’s streets and newspapers were flooded on Sunday with pictures of a mugger who has attacked at least two elderly women in the borough of Queens, including one who is 101 years old.
The other woman was an 85-year-old who uses a walker. Both were recovering from the violent robberies, which occurred a week ago in different apartment buildings but only reported over the weekend.
Rose Morat, 101, told the New York Post she wished she could have fought back: “Fifteen years ago, we would have had a tussle.”
Both women were robbed of less than $35, and Morat suffered a fractured cheekbone during the attack which was captured by cameras. The other was robbed of two rings including her wedding ring.
Police distributed pictures of a suspect, a negro male, taken from surveillance video.http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070311/ts_nm/crime_elderly_dc;_ylt=Auy6Mk0g8lrsQJ7eDyTACWJ34T0D
