This Is Bad Works Right Here: NYC Goon Robs A 10-Year-Boy For $8 While He Was Walking Home With His Sister In Crown Heights, Brooklyn!
A callous crook robbed a 10-year-old boy of $8 as the child and his younger sister walked down a Brooklyn street after a trip to a local pizza spot, police said Saturday.
Victim Alex Medina and his sister, age 7, were walking side-by-side down Sterling Place near Utica Ave. in Crown Heights about 11 a.m. Friday when the mugger, who is believed to be homeless, stormed up and snatched the cash right out of the child’s hand, police said.
The thief had confronted Medina moments earlier, asking for some money, the child recalled.
“He asked me if I can give him $5 dollars but I ignored him and walked away,” Alex told the Daily News Saturday. “The second time I went to the pizzeria, he came, grabbed my hand and took the money and just ran off.”
A neighbor of Alex and his mother, Ana Garcia, caught the robbery on a surveillance camera.
