Police released shocking video yesterday of a woman being pummeled in a Bronx robbery.
A suspect followed the 57-year-old victim into an elevator of a Washington Avenue building in Claremont about 9:25 a.m. yesterday, then got out one floor before the victim’s floor, cops said.
When the door opened, she was face to face with the brute, who began punching her, authorities said.
The assault was captured on surveillance camera.
The thief took her purse, then ran off.
Police say the suspect is in his late teens, 5-foot-11, and thin. He wore a black Polo jacket and sweatpants, as well as a black hat with a red stripe during the attack.
Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers at 1.800.577.TIPS (8477).
This latest outrage comes just 10 days after another brute beat down an elderly woman in the elevator of her Meatpacking District building, stealing the heirloom wedding ring given her by her husband.
Yvonne Sherwell-Demakopoulos, 85, said she pleaded with the thug not to take the wedding ring, but the cold-hearted mugger snatched it anyway,
Cops arrested homeless ex-con 33-year-old Freddie Keitt in the case. He is charged with assault, unlawful imprisonment and robbery, and is being held on $5,000 bail.
