Cops arrested Elsakran Mohamed, 46, an Access-A-Ride driver from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn after allegedly dragging a 78-year-old, frail woman out of his car and trying to rob her last week.
The guy was charged with attempted robbery, vehicular assault and grand larceny in connection with the August 31 incident caught by a third-party on his camera phone, the New York Post reported.
The video shows the elderly lady sprawled out on her back in the street. She appears to be defending herself from the driver by swinging her cane at him. Apparently, she was on her way to a physical therapy appointment when the driver pulled her out of the vehicle and onto the street in Marine Park.
Mohamed is then seen driving into the bystander, nearly running her over, before fleeing the scene like a coward.
“The video is brutal and shows no compassion or respect for the elderly,” the group said in a statement. “Mohamed’s actions will not be tolerated, there is NOTHING that can justify throwing an elderly women [sic] out of a car and into the street,” it said in a statement evidently not an English major.
Mohamed’s license has reportedly been suspended, Inshallah.

The woman is heard in the video shouting “Call the police! He robbed my phone!”
The person shooting the video got his license plate and face on video and that was how he was quickly tracked down.
The NYS Federation of Taxi Drivers identified Mohamed as the driver and called for his Taxi and Limousine Commission driving privileges to be immediately suspended or revoked, the Post reported.
