She told police that a necklace was snatched from her before she was pushed to the ground.
The thieves were able to get away northbound Amsterdam Avenue and the victim was taken to Mount Sinai West.
Less than a week later on August 11, a 25-year-old woman was also approached by two people on an electric scooter on the corner of 50th Street and Eighth Avenue. She also had a chain snatched from her neck.
The woman was not injured during the ordeal but the pair got away down Eighth Avenue.
