Cat Fright

A 25-year-old woman was mugged by a 30-year-old woman as she was entering her building. At 3:45 AM on Friday, Aug. 2, the younger woman was returning home and opened the outer door to her apartment building on East 90th Street, when the older woman tapped her on the shoulder. The younger woman turned around, and the other woman punched her in the face with a closed fist. The victim sustained pain and swelling to her nose. The thief then took the victim's property and fled eastbound on 90th Street. Police searched the area but were unable to locate the female felon. The victim was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital by EMS, but received some good news when police managed to recover her stolen property at 6:30 AM. Items stolen and recovered included credit and debit cards, the young woman's New York State learner's permit and student ID, plus $50 in cash.
