PROSPECT HEIGHTS — This good deed got punished.
An Access-A-Ride driver had her purse stolen while she was helping a passenger exit the van, according to a police report.
The theft happened at 2 p.m. on May 29 as the driver was dropping a passenger off at the Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue, according to the report. The driver called 911 and waited for 30 minutes for police to respond but had to leave because she had other passengers in her van, the report stated.
Access-A-Ride is the city's door-to-door van service for disabled people and others who can't use public transit.
The thief swiped the driver's commercial driver's license, debit and credit cards, $25 in cash, house keys and Samsung cell phone, according to the report.
