CHELSEA — A thief snatched an iPhone from a woman's baby stroller on a Chelsea sidewalk this week, police said.
The 34-year-old victim was pushing her baby carriage along Eighth Avenue near West 28th Street about 9:50 a.m. on April 28 when the thief grabbed her $400 iPhone 5 and fled, police said.
Police described the suspect as a 5-foot-7 man with short black hair who was last seen wearing dark blue jeans, white sneakers and a black T-shirt.
No arrests had been made as of Thursday.
