Suspect Arrested In 93-Year-Old Woman's East Harlem Mugging

A 26-year-old man has been arrested in the East Harlem mugging of a 93-year-old woman in a wheelchair.

Authorities say Broyoan Lopez, of Brooklyn, is charged with robbery, grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

The NYPD Warrant Squad reportedly picked him up near Grand Central Terminal just before 7 a.m. Friday.

"He hurt me, he hurt me right there and in the arm right there," victim Maria Vasquez said. "Because I tried to grab him, but he pushed my arm away. And that's where I got hurt."

Vasquez was just trying to buy slippers from Regine's on East 116th Street in Harlem on Friday when police say Lopez stuck his hands in her bra and took the $600 in Social Security money that she had cashed a few doors down.

It bothered the store owner Josh Cohen so much that he cut a $600 check and gave it to Vasquez Friday afternoon, and he threw the slippers in for free.

Just an hour earlier, Lopez had left the 25th Precinct in handcuffs.

There was a gofundme page that raised an additional 1900 dollars for her. The gofundme campaign has ended.

The story about the bodega owner touched me and reminded me of how I once reported a wilding in a Korean dress store to the shoe store next door to it - I didn’t know what else to do! The man behind the register - a huge black man - picked up a baseball bat and charged into those thugs and they scattered like roaches. NYC can be a bad place and a very wonderful place.

Put me in a locked room with him. I would enjoy myself and leave with a smile. Him, not so much.

Good bless you, Josh.

Caught near Grand Central! Pickpocket Central.

The only crime I’ve ever seen - a stolen wallet - happened in that vicinity.

He’s a low skunk to be robbing anyone, let alone a 93 y/o woman in a wheelchair!
Someone needs to buy Grandma a fannypak or something that wraps around the upper arm and has a pocket. The Bra method isn’t good in this day and age. Unless she maybe put a mousetrap in it first! ;SNAP!! followed by OWW!

Maybe his parents couldn’t decide between two names, so they mixed the sounds together. Sometimes it works, other times it just sounds odd. OR, it’s a fake name he cooked up on the spot.

‘Broyoan’ looks like the transliteration of ‘Brian’ as spoken by someone with an unhinged jaw.

It was classy of the store owner to cut the check to the victim.

And people wonder why I am in favor of bringing back public floggings.

I object to my tax money being used to feed, cloth and house this shoe scraping.

A flogging and branding would be about right.
