Cornered in the elevator of a Brooklyn apartment building last week, police say a 74-year-old woman was assaulted by a masked man who threatened to kill her.
The victim was inside the elevator Wednesday morning with two men when one of them allegedly got out and the door slammed shut, as seen in surveillance video released by police over the weekend.
The second man allegedly then steps up to look at the woman and begins pulling her bag.
“I have a gun and I will kill you if you don’t give me the bag,” police said he told the woman.
The uniformed officer clarified that the suspect stole $600 from her purse and fled the Coney Island building.
Images of the two men wanted by police in connection with the robbery were published on Saturday.
