At approximately 7:20 p.m. last Wednesday, a woman was walking up the northwest stairs of the South Street subway stop when a man allegedly came up from behind and took her purse off her shoulder.
The man fled down into the subway, ran across the concourse and exited up the northeast stairs.
However, the surveillance cameras caught numerous angles of the suspect, including his escape across the concourse.
The suspect is described as a black male, standing over six feet tall, very thin, sunglasses, dark complexion, wearing khaki shirt, khaki pants, and sneakers.
