HELL’S KITCHEN — A pair of thieves stole a cellphone from a McDonald’s patron after one of them hit her with his wig, pushed her to the ground and poured a strawberry smoothie on her, the NYPD said.
The 39-year-old victim, from Brooklyn, was eating inside the fast-food spot at 1651 Broadway, at the corner of West 51st Street, around 3:30 a.m. on Sept. 15 when she got into an argument with a group of men, police said.
At some point during the squabble, a “husky” man wearing a T-shirt and a long, black wig took the hairpiece off and smacked the woman with it, the NYPD said.
The fight spilled out onto the sidewalk, at which point the same suspect pushed her to the ground and poured a strawberry smoothie on her, police said.
A second man in a flannel shirt, meanwhile, pried the woman’s $800 iPhone out of her hand, the NYPD said.
The two men then fled onto West 51st Street toward Eighth Avenue, police said.
Police hadn’t arrested anyone in connection with the incident as of Monday.
