NEW ROCHELLE
A 53-year-old New Rochelle woman was mugged by a man who yanked her shoulder bag off her shoulder, police said today.
The woman was walking south on May Street at 9:40 p.m. Saturday when the mugger approached her from behind, New Rochelle Detective Capt. Joseph Schaller said.
The mugger, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, yanked the bag off of her shoulder, knocking her to the ground, and then escaped with it, Schaller said.
