Thug snatches purse from elderly B’klyn woman in wheelchair (VIDEO)

Cops are hunting the heartless goon who swiped a purse off an elderly Brooklyn woman seated in a wheelchair.

In shocking surveillance video released today by police, the 78-year-old victim is being pushed down Wyckoff Avenue at around 1:10 p.m. on July 20 as the hoodlum casually walks a few paces in front of her.

Seconds later, the thug sprints past and snatches the handbag.

He runs southbound on Wyckoff Avenue before disappearing out of view of the camera’s lens.

The perp stands 6 feet tall, weighs about 180 pounds and was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt and dark-colored shorts with a white stripe, cops said.
