The NYPD has arrested a man who they say assaulted and robbed an 85-year-old woman in her Brooklyn apartment building elevator, CBS2 HD reports.

Police identified the suspect as Cornelius Abson and say he is also responsible for the attack on a 67-year-old man.

It’s not yet known whether Abson is responsible for 10 other similar muggings of elderly in Brooklyn.

Police believe Abson attacked and robbed France of $900 and her cane in her own building, a vicious attack that was caught on surveillance camera.

It was the latest in a string of attacks and robberies of elderly people.

The victims range in age from the mid-50s to the mid-80s. Most of the victims are women, and many of the attacks happened in elevators.

In a building on E. 18th Street, a 76-year-old woman was similarly robbed in the lobby. She was standing by her mailbox, when she says she was attacked by a man who squeezed her neck and stole not only her purse, but her eyeglasses.

Another victim, 73-year-old Helene Sargent, was attacked on July 25 on Bedford Avenue. Her granddaughter, Chelsea Phillips, says she was robbed of $300 on her stairway.
