It’s no laughing matter anymore.
A 13-year-old girl was busted Wednesday for a violent, caught-on-video mugging in the Bronx that left a 76-year-old woman with a fractured hip, cops said.
Investigators identified the teen through the disturbing surveillance video — which shows her grabbing hold of the elderly victim’s purse and swinging her around until she falls to the floor of a building lobby in Pelham Bay on Sunday.
The young suspect, and one of her female cohorts, were captured on the footage smiling during the disturbing attack.
The teen and two other suspects first approached the senior as she entered the building at Roberts and Hobart avenues, cops said.
