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.

It will come that whites will no longer trust blacks even a little bit. It is their fault, not ours. This won’t end well.

I’d horsewhip him, if I had a horse.

I wouldn’t call it shocking.

I hope the lady recovers and I am so sorry this happened to her.

When you act like an animal you should be treated like one.

Exactly!

I wonder why a cannibal would want to steal a plastic toy. Perhaps the cannibal thought the toy was a fetus and wanted to eat it? Happens all the time in democrat run cities. /spit

Today's version of “Cabbage Patch Dolls”

People are buying them as collectables. Ten years and they will be trash. Forty years they might be collectables again.

I decline to carry them because I do not need a case of the creeps every time I shelve the books.
