The NYPD released video Thursday of a maniac who choked a 70-year-old man at a Brooklyn subway station, knocked him to the platform and pushed him toward the tracks before taking his wallet.
The elderly man told cops the attacker also displayed a knife and demanded his property around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Nevins Street 2/3/4/5 station.
The attacker shoved the victim toward the tracks as he was on the subway floor, but the victim threw his wallet at the man, cops said.
The crook then took $100 from his wallet and threw it to the floor.
The man fled in an unknown direction, cops said. The video released by police shows the man barreling out of the station.
He is described as being between 20 and 25 years old, standing 6’0″ to 6’2″ and weighing 180 to 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, dark-colored sweatpants, and multi-colored sneakers.
