Group of NYC suspects seen beating 61-year-old woman with kitchen pot and stealing her walker: Video
The New York City Police Department is looking for suspects seen beating a 61-year-old woman with a kitchen pot before making off with several of her personal items, including her walker.
Surveillance footage showed a woman slamming the victim into a metal railing before a second suspect began to beat her with a pan Tuesday at around 8 p.m. A third suspect can be seen kicking her while she struggled on the ground, while a fourth male stood by.
The 61-year-old was eventually dragged across the street and punched in the back several times before the suspects made off with cash, her credit cards, and her walker, the NYPD said.
