MANHATTAN — Three people are wanted in the brutal Gramercy mugging of an 84-year-old woman.

The suspects, two men and one woman, attacked their elderly victim on the night of Jan. 15 on East 18th Street between Park Avenue South and Irving Place, knocking her to the ground and making off with her purse, according to police.

The unidentified female senior suffered a bruised knee and hand as a result of the assault, the NYPD said.

The attackers, meanwhile, scampered off to the Chase Bank on East 45th Street and Lexington Avenue, where they attempted unsuccessfully to withdraw cash using the victim's credit card just 25 minutes later, the department said.

The alleged mugging happened on East 18th Street between Park Avenue South and Irving Place.
