Woman Dragged Down Stairs, Robbed In Chelsea Building, Cops Say

CHELSEA, NY — A woman was dragged down the stairs and robbed late last month inside of a residential building, police said.

A woman walked up to another 30-year-old woman and began talking to her inside the stairwell at a residential building near West 21st Street and Seventh Avenue, according to police.

Police said the thief dragged her down the stairs to a landing and then snatched her Apple iPhone X and a wallet with a credit card.

The thief ran off with a man, and cops are looking for both of them.

Emergency responders took the woman who was robbed to a nearby hospital for head pain, a cut on her tongue and bruising, police said.

Surveillance images from a subway station released by police shows a woman wearing a pink dress and black flip-flops with socks and a man wearing a blue T-Shirt with white writing.

We are attempting to identify the female depicted in this photo in connection to a robbery.
