Crime is rampant in the city. However, you would think that a police dispatcher walking on the property of Police headquarters would be safe. You are wrong. It was at 5:41 AM when the victim, an employee of the Phila Police Department was walking on the 1400 block of Callowhill street, which is the property of the Philadelphia Police Department. She was approached by an unknown black male and mugged.
The male, who may be homeless, is captured on video trying to pick through a nearby ash can for cigarette stubs when the woman walks near. The suspect then bolts into action and grabs her purse. She tried to hold on but is dragged into the street. He knocked her to the ground. Eventually, he was able to get her purse. The thief was last seen running south on 15th Street.
