A shoplifter knocked a 77-year-old woman unconscious as he made a mad dash from a Barnes & Noble bookstore in Manhattan on Saturday with just $35 in stolen Funko Pop! toys in a shocking moment that was caught on surveillance video.
New York City Police released footage that shows the thief running out the door after he snatched the popular collectibles from a display inside the Union Square location around 12:20 p.m.
When loss prevention employees tried to stop him, the brazen thief forced his way through and slammed into the unidentified elderly woman walking into the store.
The woman was knocked unconscious and rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where she has a head injury and is listed in stable condition.
Video footage released by the NYPD on Sunday shows as the theft unfolds with what appears to be the suspect casually browsing the multi-level bookstore at the East 17th Street location on the edge of Union Square.
The suspect walks slowly around a display of Funko Pop! toys before carefully selecting one from the bottom shelf and another from the top before walking off.
The video cuts to the suspect holding his bag open as he's being confronted by a loss prevention worker at the entrance of the store.
He then suddenly dashes off and forcibly pushes through people walking into the store, knocking the 77-year-old woman to the ground.

I hope the lady is okay.
Just as I thought. . .
Honestly, when I read he was shoplifting Funko Pops, I was expecting a white soyboy with purple hair.
At first I thought “No, the Amish wouldn’t steal books... “ My faith is restored.
I had to look up Funko Pops!
Never heard of them. They weren’t books.
(I agree with you as far as his punishment.)
I think evolution, or de-evolution is creating a whole different species. Someday, there will be a re-enactment of Australopithecus versus Homosapien
Only thing “shocking” is that anyone would even consider wanting those hideous things.
The rest of it is pretty much normal Dem city goings on.
government wont allow it.
You know something’s going wrong if you spot an “Amish” in a book store....
They say that poor woman is ‘unidentified’, yet they somehow know she is 77 years old. Based on what, her molars?
I am guessing Funko Pop toys must be some form of a novelty item that has become a collectible, the way Cabbage Patch Kids were years ago. Probably made popular via some gaming interest or Tik Tok.
In any case, this young Thug needs to be id’ed, doxxed and boxxed.
If Obama had a son...
When you act like an animal you should be treated like one.
However, the perp here does not seem to be much of the "literary type."
"Funko Pop" toys? B&N should stick to the books.
The only people who can do something about this are other black people. Most of them do not want any part of this behavior...but they are too scared of their own neighbors if they are lower income and live in creepy nabe, and scared of the Dem defamation machine (if they’re prosperous, professionals, etc.).
As the woke call it a non-pale person.
News the major news outlets and big tech will be censoring.
