Police released the first look at a come-from-behind robbery aboard a Staten Island bus earlier this month that saw a suspect stealing hundreds of dollars of cash from a man in a wheelchair.
NYPD officials released video Sunday of the two-week-old robbery on an S40 MTA bus in hopes of tracking down the suspect.
Surveillance video catches the moment police said a man stands up behind the 64-year-old victim and takes $250 from shirt pocket. A brief struggle follows as the victim stands up and tries to stop the man, but he was able to get away.
The robbery occurred Aug. 13 around 9:10 p.m. as the bus was stopping at Clinton Avenue and Richmond Terrace, according to police.
