The victim was able to point out the accused to police, who say they recovered a knife next to the suspect’s foot.
Food truck fight
A fiend stalked a woman, threw her to the ground, and took her phone and money on Bogart Street on Sept. 5, cops said.
The 22-year-old victim reported that she was walking at Bogart and Moore streets at 6:30 am when the villain started walking behind her. He then tried to push the woman into a nearby food truck, and when she resisted, threw her to the ground, grabbed her iPhone and wallet, and fled down Moore Street.
