The police released a surveillance video still of a man who mugged two women at Manhattan bank ATMs. According to WCBS 2, "Police said the first robbery took place on Sept. 3 around 1 p.m. at a Citibank location in Columbus Circle, then again, a week later, at a Chase ATM on West 23rd Street at mid-morning." In both cases, the suspect approached the women from behind, simulated having a gun and demanded their money. Neither victim was injured. Some women reiterated reminders/suggestions about ATM safety, “Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure all of your personal belongings are close to you,” and “You need to look behind you, look on the side of you, and you should have somebody else with you."
