PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Police are searching for two suspects involved in an attempted robbery that left a woman injured on December 20, 2024, in the city’s 9th District.
The incident occurred at approximately 2:35 p.m. on the 1400 block of W. Girard Avenue when the victim, riding an electric scooter, was approached by two unidentified men. One suspect grabbed the scooter while the other tried to forcibly pry her hands off the handlebars, police said.
The victim resisted, clinging to the scooter, but fell down a set of front steps during the struggle. Both suspects fled north on 15th Street without taking the scooter, according to investigators.
The suspects, described as two Black males, were captured on surveillance footage, which has been released by Central Detectives as they work to identify the individuals involved.
Police are urging anyone with information about the suspects to come forward as the investigation continues.
