Knife-Wielding Man Cuts Chains off Victims in the Bronx: Police

An armed man is going around the Bronx and robbing people of their chains, police say.

The NYPD says the knife-wielding man is linked to at least four different robberies since July 20 in Belmont.

The 20-something-year-old suspect walks up to his victim, shows either a knife or a gun and demands their property, police said. In two of the robberies, he uses his knife to cut off chains from his victims’ necks. In the other two, he used a gun to steal a chain and a cellphone, according to officials.
