Woman Robbed at Knifepoint at Chinatown ATM: Police

A knife-wielding man robbed a woman who was withdrawing money from an ATM machine in Chinatown last summer, according to police.

The woman told police she was making a withdrawal at the Citizens Bank MAC Machine on the 1200 block of Spring Garden Street back on July 27 at 11:25 p.m. when a man on a bicycle approached her.

The man allegedly took out a knife and threatened to stab her if she didn’t withdraw more money. The woman said he then took her money and card.

The woman pretended to make another withdrawal and then ran into the street screaming after she spotted a vehicle traveling on Spring Garden, according to police.

Police said the suspect then fled north on Ridge Avenue.

While the alleged robbery occurred last summer, police released a surveillance photo of the suspect Tuesday. If you have any information on the man’s whereabouts, please call Central Detective Division Det. Goldstein or Det. Guercio at 215-686-3093/3047.
