Police released surveillance images of the brute they believe attacked a 64-year-old woman on Jan. 8 over a paltry sum.
The ruffian followed the woman to her residence near W. 37th Street and Neptune Avenue in Coney Island at 5 pm, police said. Once inside, the cowardly crook assaulted the woman and stole $6 from her before fleeing.
The woman was not seriously injured and declined medical attention, police said.
