An elderly Sunnyside woman was robbed by an unidentified intruder just inside her apartment building entrance on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 12.

Police say the stranger slipped into the vestibule of the residential building on 42nd Street and 43rd Avenue at around 11 a.m. and, once inside, he approached an 82-year-old woman from behind and forcibly snatched her necklace before running out of the apartment building.

He was last seen running northbound on 42nd Street towards Skillman Avenue, police said.

Police from the 108th Precinct responded to the location and found the senior woman had sustained bruising to her neck, but she refused medical attention at the scene, according to the NYPD.

The necklace is valued at approximately $800, police said. https://qns.com/wp-content/uploa
