A frum Flatbush woman was the victim of a strong-arm robbery at around 6 pm Tuesday evening.
Highly credible sources tell YWN that the middle-aged woman had just left the Chase Bank at Coney Island Ave. and Ave. V when she was approached by a Hispanic male who threw her to the ground, grabbed her pocketbook containing $5,200 in cash she had just withdrawn, and fled.
The woman, who unsuccessfully attempted to fight off the perp, sustained minor injuries and did not require medical attention.
Flatbush Shomrim and the NYPD are actively canvassing the area in search of the suspect.
If you have any information that could lead to the arrest of the thief and the retrieval of the money, call 9-1-1 and then the 24-hour Flatbush Shomrim hotline at 718-338-9797.
Additional information will be published when it becomes available.
Please be aware of your surroundings when making large cash withdrawals from banks, especially during this time of year. With daylight ending early and the holiday season fast approaching, criminals are on the lookout for people carrying cash and other valuables.

Welcome to a country run by filthy demented Treasonous DemonRats.
Keep voting for these vermin and this is exactly what you’ll get
how did the hispanic know she had cash?
I have a question, and it is inquisitive, not rhetorical: Why would anyone need $5,000 in cash? I know only one person who occasionally carried that much money, and he was a billionaire who could easily afford the loss. He spent it on legal gambling.
Huju:
Perhaps to buy a diamond ring or other jewelry for her future daughter in law? Streimel for her husband/son? Pay the roofer for his work? Tuition? Unlike what your deity, Joe Biden, claims, living a Torah life costs money, lots of it, and cash.
I hope they catch him soon and send to therapy and rehab
@huju. Great question!↵
So here is one option: to give to her many zisse einiklach for Chanukah gifts.↵
I’ll let you think of other reasons why someone else you don’t even know would want to withdraw however much cash she chooses to withdraw from her back account. Thank you so much for your non
rhetorical
question.
