On September 30, near White Plains Road and Cruger Avenue, a 49-year-old woman was struck in the head with a firearm after the suspect removed a chain from her neck. She refused medical attention at the scene, police said. Earlier that same morning, a 36-year-old man at 2009 Cruger Avenue had two chains forcibly removed by a suspect on a two-wheeled vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>On October 19, within a three-hour span, four robberies were reported in Manhattan\u2019s 19th Precinct, from East 68th Street to East 90th Street, involving the same tactics: a man on a two-wheeled vehicle, a firearm, and demands for property. In one case, the suspect took $12; in others, no property was stolen.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent known incident occurred on November 10, in front of 2 Charlton Street in SoHo. A 59-year-old man was approached by the gunman, who demanded his bag. During a struggle, the suspect fired a shot before fleeing westbound on a two-wheeled vehicle. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p>The NYPD released surveillance images on Wednesday as part of the ongoing investigation and is urging anyone with information to contact the authorities.\n<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information regarding the suspect\u2019s whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA).
