Police have revealed that a maniac hit a 73-year-old woman and pointed a gun at her during a terrifying robbery inside a Brooklyn tire shop on Saturday in New York.
This comes as the latest in a series of attacks targeting elderly New Yorkers, authorities said.
The attacker snatched the old woman’s phone and shoved her to the ground inside the JC Tires Shop near Rockaway Parkway and Avenue N around 8:40 am in Canarsie, the NYPD confirmed.

The maniac robber then kicked her repeatedly and whipped out a firearm, aiming it at the woman while he verbally threatened her.
Her attacker was last seen wearing a green jacket, camouflage-colored pants, a black hat, and a black facemask hanging from his chin, according to reports. He took off and travelled southbound on Rockaway Parkway.
New York Police revealed that after the robbery, the 73-year-old victim was treated at the scene by medics and not hospitalized.
On Saturday night, police released surveillance footage of the suspect, and the robbery came days after career criminal Jamel McGriff allegedly killed and burned an elderly couple inside their Queens home.
“I’ll admit it. I killed them,” he told police after his arrest, according to prosecutors.
“I don’t give a f–k. I killed them. I burnt the n—as. I molested them,” he chillingly confessed.

About a month ago, Servin Maradiaga, 43, allegedly sexually abused a sleeping 71-year-old woman inside her Brooklyn home on August 30, and cops have warned families with elderly relatives to be vigilant as the series of attacks continues.
