ASTORIA — A man swiped a woman's purse from a bar in Queens earlier this month after she left it behind to go to the bathroom, police said.

The 25-year-old woman was at Oliver's Astoria Bar, on Broadway and 38th Street, at 2 a.m. on Sept. 12 when she left her pocketbook on the bar and went to the restroom, according to the NYPD.

The bag contained her credit cards and an iPhone 6, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
