In dramatic surveillance footage released by police, the woman can be seen walking past 1435 Dawson St., near Rainey Park, when a man passes in front of her and yanks off her chain about 2:25 p.m., according to the NYPD.

The woman was not injured, police said.

The suspect was wearing what looks like a blue T-shirt, shorts and sneakers, according to the NYPD.
