A woman was robbed at knife-point on her way home from work at an East Village café, cops said.
The victim, a 35-year-old woman, was on East Ninth Street and Avenue A near where she works at the Thai Café, around 5:30 a.m. Monday when the crook approached her, according to police.
The man whipped out a small knife and threatened her, cops said.
“Give me everything, or I’ll kill you!,” he said, according to police sources.
The woman struggled with the thief and got a cut on her arm in the scuffle, cops said.
The thief managed to swipe the victim’s Marc Jacobs purse with her Donna Karan wallet, $300 in cash and her iPhone, cops said.
Investigators tried to track the phone using the Find My iPhone app, but the suspect had already turned the phone off, the sources said.
The suspect, who cops say is 6-feet-tall and in his 30s, fled on foot in a pair of blue jeans.
