Mugger Steals 85-Year-Old's Cane

NYC Cops: Attacker Suspected Of A Dozen Robberies Of Elderly Victims - Watch The Video

(CBS/AP)  Authorities are looking for a man caught on video attacking and robbing an elderly woman in a Brooklyn elevator, and say he's connected to a string of assaults targeting older victims.

Police have released video from the latest incident last week, when 85-year-old Lillian France was choked and robbed of $900 and her cane as she attempted to get off an elevator in a Crown Heights building.

Authorities said the attack was one of a dozen robberies of the elderly since the end of June in the Crown Heights, Flatbush and Kensington sections of Brooklyn.

We are lucky he hasn't killed somebody," a police source told the New York Daily News. "I would like to believe that people have more respect for the elderly."

The newspaper said the mugger had stolen a bible from one of his victims, and a Medicaid card from another.

Has anyone found out if there was actually any validity to the creation of the human species?

There actually is validity to the creation , but this low life thief would rank at the lowest level.

What are you, the grammar police? I think what my opinion said was right on the money. Not everyone types perfectly and you cannot edit posts here, which I''m sure some would do if they could. You''re just comment-less because you know what that person said is correct and have nothing other than your boring comments to add.

Is he a black man? No way. Never in a million years.

All I can see is the %$#@!^&* Black Berry commercial!

Real tough guy. But if the cops break one of the perp''s fingernails when they arrest him, the whole city will come down on them. "Police brutality! The mean ole poh-lice picking on the neighborhood peoples!"

We need to declare war on all thugs & gangstas regardless of color. Terminate them. No one will miss them. I doubt if even their mother will cry.

Or we might have a dead criminal and a happy victim.

I don''t care what his race is, i would like to catch him in the act.

[linfinster]

Oooh that poor woman!! I hope she is doing OK!! I can''t imagine how scared she will be to go outside again! This world is(D)EVIL! What a shame we have so much fear in a free country! Total disregard for another human being, there just is no excuse and we allow it too.

After which you said quite a bit more, so it seems you are the language challenged one here.

"Unintelligible?" But you seem to have understood what it means, even if you cannot spell "unintelligible" correctly.

Is he talking about Larry Craig?

Sounds like it.

These republicans - they''re obsessed with the male organ.

Hey they say gay haters tend to be closet *** themselves!

Larry Craig proved that hypothesis conclusively, so did Mark Pedofoley!

LOL
