NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – An elderly woman was brutally attacked in her Greenwich Village apartment building. The suspect was caught on tape waiting for the moment to strike.

The NYPD released surveillance video Monday of the man they are hoping to catch. The suspect is seen barreling over and robbing an 85-year-old woman — a long time resident of her building.

“It happened so fast that I, of course, you’re lying there and you’re terrified. I don’t know what he was going to do,” victim Yvonne Sherwell told CBS 2’s John Slattery.

The attack happened Saturday just before 11 p.m. in a renovated building on West 13th Street, police said. Sherwell came into her locked lobby, where a man was waiting in one of the chairs. While the victim went to her mailbox, the attacker waited and then followed her into an elevator, where he pounced.

Good think she wasn’t carrying a gun. Why she could have shot and killed the poor guy who was going to night school and trying to support his girl-friend’s baby and just getting his life turned around -</snarf
