Suspect in brutal mugging of elderly woman caught on video released under new bail law

Not even this brutal, caught-on-video mugging — in which a struggling 83-year-old woman was dragged to the ground, and her purse wrenched away — is enough to get a suspect locked up these days under the state’s new bail reform law.

Exclusive video obtained by The Post allegedly shows 56-year-old Dana White, of Jamaica, Queens, walking up behind the victim in front of a building on Eldridge St. on the Lower East Side at about 5:45 a.m. Monday.

The victim is so petite compared to her attacker, that she stands only as high as his chest as he grabs at her scarf.

When the woman, who was walking with a cane, turns to escape his grasp, the thief puts his arms around her neck and drags her to the ground, the video shows.

The brave woman struggles on the pavement and waves her cane as she tries to fight off the fiend, who soon yanks her purse from around her neck and leaves her on the ground.

“She was a tough old woman who didn’t want to give it up,” a law enforcement source told The Post of the victim and her precious purse.

56-year-old Dana White, of Jamaica, Queens ... on Eldridge St. on the Lower East Side at about 5:45 a.m.

Both the victim and the perp were out walking at 5:45 a.m.?
The perp lives in Queens - many miles from the Lower East Side. Was she out all night?

LOL, me, I consider dirty windows as insulated with built in blinds.

By care and treatment do you mean a 9mm behind the right ear?

I was being sarcastic.

Your treatment would be best, after a quick trial.
