New York, NY - A Diamond District jeweler was robbed of $115,000 in gold at a Midtown subway station, according to police.
Three men described as being in their 20s sprayed Mace into the face of the victim, Zalmah Gruenhut, who lives on Division Avenue in Williamsburg Brooklyn, in the stairwell of the crowded Rockefeller Center subway station at 48th Street and Sixth Avenue on Aug. 29.
Gruenhut was carrying three spools of gold wire valued at $115,000 in a bag at about 1 p.m., cops said.
The thieves, dressed in khaki pants and one carrying a beige backpack, first bumped into Gruenhut before blinding him, grabbing his bag and fleeing with the merchandise, police sources said.
Cops put up fliers in the station seeking the public's help in catching the gold-grabbing goons. [nypost]
