Not deterred by a gruesome road accident where a man was crushed under a truck, a thief went under to steal the dead man’s wallet.
A thief did the most inhumane thing ever – stealing from a dead man crushed by a truck in Manhattan. And the cold-blooded thief was cheered on by apathetic bystanders who had gathered to watch her feat.
The incident was recorded but unfortunately, the police have been unable to identify the pedestrian, believed to be in his 50s, who had been crushed under a tractor-trailer in Midtown or inform his family of his death. The thief, a woman, was also not identified.
Police said the gruesome accident occurred as the victim was crossing Eighth Avenue at West 44th Street around 11:30 a.
