New York City Police are looking for a bold mugger who punched a 62-year-old teacher in the face and stole her purse. What's even more shocking, he came back after police arrived and stole her car.

The teacher had just arrived at the Brooklyn school where she teaches math. Before she got in the front gate, she was attacked. After she hit the ground, the man grabbed her purse and took off.

"He really, really hurt her," said neighbor Kathy Scalandre. "He really pounded her."

The attack happened around 6:40 in the morning. But the neighborhood was not empty. Other teachers were arriving and parishioners were on their way to morning mass at a nearby catholic church.

The victim is recovering from a swollen and bruised face. She has not returned to class.

Hey I’m all for white pride, you are who you are, I have just as many white people as I do black. But these organizations are in place because white people didn’t want us in theirs, so we made our own. Now it’s an issue? Oh yea last time I checked HBC’s do allow white students, as a matter of fact a white guy was the valedictorian of one this year.

Speaking of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People…is it politically correct to even say “Colored People” anymore?

If you truly want equality, abolish those organizations. If Whites are not allowed to be proud of their heritage by having a whites only group, then blacks shouldnt either. True equality means both are equal. Not one is slightly better than the other.

LOL KxVx! How is BET, NAACP, etc. racist? All of these things into fruition when white people would not allow black people to vote, go to the same colleges, be on the cover of people magazine, and show black people in videos, so how is that racist?

It’s funny that Patti says something about “Satan Deciples” (I think she means disciples), because there’s a sect of a Chicago gang around here called the BGDN, Black Gangster Disciple Nation.

yes because the amount of serial killers in this country is anywhere near the number of robbers and thieves. My God the points made on this site are just hilarious.

Ok. That took a lot. I am not a racist. Mremann83 apparently is not a racist. Stating the facts is not a racial thing.
