New York City man steals $250 from 64-year-old victim in wheelchair

A suspect swiped about $250 from a 64-year-old man in a wheelchair while the pair rode a bus on Staten Island on Aug. 13, according to the NYPD.

The NYPD is searching for a suspect who robbed a man in a wheelchair of $250 on a bus earlier this month on Staten Island.

The suspect stood up behind the victim and reached into his pocket to swipe the cash around 9:00 p.m. on Aug. 13. 

Surveillance video shows several bills flying out of the man's pocket as the two struggle and the suspect sweeps up the money.

The victim, a 64-year-old man, was uninjured, while the suspect fled the bus in an unknown direction.
