A young male, possibly a teenager is wanted by Philadelphia Police for the strong arm robbery of a 28 year old female. The male saw her walking on the 700 block of N.Uber Street on August 14, 2023. He approached her from behind and then grabbed her, punched her and as the two fell to the ground, he gouged at her eyes until she gave up her cell phone. He then ran away on foot, police said.
He was last seen on Uber Street. He was wearing a “Thrasher” hoodie, which he used to try to cover his face. It did not work. Security cameras captured hm as he walked into several stores. It is unknown if these videos were made before or after the robbery, but his distinctive “Thrasher” hoodie gave it away. He is probably local.
Police want to hear from you if you know who he is or where he is.
