Police are looking for a man who attempted to rob a woman at knifepoint in South Richmond Hill earlier this month.
On Saturday, Nov. 14, around 8:40 a.m., a 64-year-old woman was walking in front of 101-62 120th St., when an unidentified man approached her from behind, cops said.
The man wrapped his left arm around the woman’s neck and held a knife to her throat, demanding she turn over her money, according to the police.
