Police in New York City are hunting for a woman with bright orange hair who smashed the window of a yellow taxi with a cinder block to steal an iPhone and $40 in cash.

The brazen broad-daylight theft happened on Thursday, in midtown Manhattan.

The driver of the yellow taxi had parked his car on West 37th Street, between Ninth and 10th avenues, and left it to use the restroom.

Security camera footage showed the woman approach the car carrying the cinder block.

She hurled it at the drivers' side window, and then clambered through the broken window to steal the phone and cash.

She then ran away.

The robbery comes amid a dangerous crime wave in the once-safe city.

In February there was a 60 percent spike in incidents when compared to the same period last year.

The city's latest crime figures show there were 9,138 incidents last month, as opposed to 5,759 in February 2021 - with double-digit surges in nearly every major category.

It’s funny what passes for international news these days. Crimes like this happen all over the country every day. The only thing that makes this different is the woman’s weird hair.

So, bright orange hair is the most significant characteristic of this person!

Yes. We already knew from the title that the person was black.
