Clad in a grey t-shirt and blue jeans, the mugger makes a move for the woman’s gold chain as the latter was waiting at the main entrance. The victim, who initially resisted, was also subjected to physical assault during the robbery.
As the woman tried to resist, the man punches and slaps her in the face with enough force and managed to get hold of the gold chain. In the ending part of the clip, he can be seen escaping the spot while sitting on the pillion seat of the two-wheeler.
The country’s financial hub is facing an alarming increase in the menace of street crime as more than 6,500 incidents have been reported in the metropolis during the month of September.
