CCTV footage appears to show two thugs rob a 74-yer-old woman in an elevator - with one allegedly threatening to kill her. The two suspects struck at a building in Coney Island, Brooklyn making off with the victim's purse - which police say contained $600 cash. The video shows two masked individuals and a woman inside an elevator, before one of the suspects decides to make an early exit. The other stays and forcefully removes the woman's bag from over her shoulder - allegedly threatening to kill her unless she hands over her purse. The woman was uninjured and police are still looking for the suspects. Anyone with any information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
