Video: Woman Robbed While Carrying Her Infant Son In Bed-Stuy

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — Cops are searching for a man who trailed a woman carrying her infant son and robbed her in broad daylight earlier this week.

Video released Tuesday shows the moment the man, riding a bicycle down a street in Bed-Stuy on Sunday evening, does a U-Turn after seeing the woman, who is walking with her infant son strapped to her chest.

After following her to a building near Halsey Street and Lewis Avenue, the man gets off his bike and runs, yelling and waving his hands, toward the woman, according to the video and police.

As she tries to hurry away, the man yanks a chain from her neck, police said.

He fled on his bicycle west on Halsey Street, according to police.

The 39-year-old woman and her son were not injured from the incident.

Police said the man wore a yellow mask over his face, a blue shirt with the NY Yankees logo on the front, black pants, white socks and black slippers.
