NEW YORK (77WABC) — The NYPD is asking for help in identifying a shoplifter in connection to an alleged attack and a robbery near the 26 Precinct.

According police, on Friday, February 11, 2022 around 10:30 a.m., the man entered the Duane Reade at 2864 Broadway and took products from a freezer. As he began to place them in his bag, he was approached by a 21-year-old female store employee, who asked him to put the items back.

Police describe the man as dark-skinned, approximately 40 years old, 6′ tall, 200lbs and was last seen wearing a red jacket, blue jeans and red boots.
