Woman chases cyclist who grabbed phone

A woman frantically chased after a pedal pushing crook who snatched the phone from her hands as she crossed an East Village street, a dash-cam video reveals.

A video shows the woman casually strolling across East 7th Street and Avenue C while looking down at the cell phone at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

That’s when the culprit on a red bicycle swept by and snatched the cell phone right out of her hands, cops said.

The victim dashed after the thief, and was joined in the pursuit by a man on a Citibike.

The suspect slipped away with her Galaxy Note 4, cops said.
