Police have nabbed the man they believe sent a woman tumbling face-first into the ground after he yanked a chain from around her neck at a Coney island bus stop back in July.
Officers arrested Frazier Dickerson on Oct. 2 in connection with the broad-daylight robbery, according to police.
Dickerson allegedly snatched a chain from around a woman’s neck while she was waiting at the bus stop on the corner of W. 31st Street and Mermaid Avenue at 1 pm on July 18. Dickerson allegedly ripped the necklace off with such force that the woman fell to the ground and suffered cuts and bruises to her face, police reports state.
Paramedics took the woman to Coney Island Hospital, where she was admitted in stable condition, according to police.
Prosecutors are charging Dickerson with grand larceny, robbery, and possession of stolen property, court records show. Dickerson’s attorney declined to comment on the case.
