And while we wish the NYPD had already caught the fake good Samaritan who allegedly ripped a gold chain off of an 80-year-old woman in Chelsea last week (before shoving her to the ground), we appreciate that they're staying on top of it by releasing surveillance footage of the alleged attacker. Have you seen the man in the below video? more ›
