Roadside Beggar Chokes Man to Coma, Steals His Wallet

Posted by Lolade on Mon 03rd Aug, 2015 - tori.ng

A street beggar attacked a passerby and choked him into unconsciousness after the victim refused to part with alms.

 
A violent beggar choked a man into unconsciousness in Central Park’s Ramble in a hellish mugging that underscores the famed park’s skyrocketing robbery stats.
 
According to reports, the last words the 53-year old man heard was “If you scream I’ll kill you,” as he felt the assailant's grip around his throat before he collapsed to the ground.
 
Upon regaining consciousness about half an hour later, the victim found that his wallet was gone.
 
His backpack, which held glasses, keys, gift cards, jewelry and cash, was also gone, cops said.
 
But the  beggar, who appeared to be around 35 years old, 5-foot-8 and weighing 160 pounds, jumped him from behind. He was still at large Saturday night.
