A burglar with a cast and a cane made a slow getaway after breaking into a home in Fort Greene last month, authorities said.
The ailing thief allegedly made his way through an open window of a basement apartment on St. James Place at around 10 a.m. May 24, police said.
While inside, the 24-year-old female resident came home and startled the man, who quickly waddled his way through the same window and was caught on video fleeing the scene.
The suspect left empty-handed and no injuries were reported, cops said.
He was last seen wearing a blue and white shirt and dark pants with a cast on his right foot.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
