SOHO — A 16-year-old TriBeCa girl was walking through SoHo last week when a pair of women yanked her hair, grabbed her purse and fled, police said.

The victim told police she was eating soup while walking at Thompson and Broome streets about 9:10 p.m. on Oct. 16 when the attack occurred.

She was not injured, but lost her $200 BlackBerry, keys and wallet containing $10 in cash.
