Two men were caught on camera stalking a woman in Soho before robbing her of $6,000 worth of electronics at knifepoint on Friday morning.
Chilling surveillance footage showed one suspect trailing the 25-year-old woman on Thompson Street just south of Houston Street, while his cohort came at her from the front with a machete at around 3:30 a.m., police said.
The masked goons then shoved the victim into a commercial rolling gate — and snatched her purse, containing a laptop, tablet, cellphone and headphones worth $5,940, according to the NYPD.
One of the men wore a black sweatsuit and Yankee cap, while the other was clad in a black jacket and red sweatpants, video showed.
