BATTERY PARK CITY — Two men stole more than $10,000 worth of handbags from Saks Fifth Avenue — and fought with the security guard who tried to stop them.

The shoplifters grabbed 10 Balenciaga bags from the upscale department store at Brookfield Place on Jan. 25, at about 5:30 p.m., police said.

When a security guard spotted the men, and tried to intervene, they began to fight him, leaving the guard with an injured left hand, authorities said.

Police arrested one man, 24-year-old Maurice Mills, but the other shoplifter ran out, hopping into a Silver car and driving off, police said

Mills was charged with second-degree robbery.

Police were still investigating the theft.
