Police say they’ve arrested the man caught on camera in two separate attacks on elderly men, just days apart in the Stuyvesant Town complex in Lower Manhattan. John Noel reports.
Police have arrested a suspect in two Stuyvesant Town robberies of elderly men.
Police said 51-year-old Henry Huggins has been arrested and faces charges of first-degree burglary and second-degree robbery.
In the most recent robbery on Wednesday, police say a 71-year-old man was entering the lobby of his apartment building at about 6 p.m. when the suspect came up from behind, took his money and assaulted him, leaving him with a broken arm.
Several weeks ago, a 77-year-old man was robbed at Stuyvesant Town in a similar manner. He was also grabbed in the vestibule of his building at about 5:15 p.m.
The suspect took his money, and the victim was not injured.
There was no immediate information about an attorney for Huggins.
