A la cart

The victim told cops she was sitting on a bench near Eighth Avenue with her shopping wagon full of groceries at 6 pm when the villain came up and demanded her cash.
“Give me some money,” the fiend said.
When the woman pleaded that she had none on her, the thug pulled a blade and forced her to the ground, then ran off with her cart containing $70 worth of shopping haul.

Bus passed
