Police arrest suspect in elevator muggingPosted: 03:21 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNN) - Authorities Thursday announced the arrest of a man who they say confessed to mugging an elderly woman in an elevator last week - an attack that was caught on surveillance video. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters in a news conference Thursday morning that Cornelius Abson, 36, confessed to that attack and another strong-arm robbery during police questioning. Abson was on parole after being conditionally released from prison in May, Kelly said. He is a repeat felon with 11 prior arrests and has been convicted of similar crimes in the past, the commissioner added. –From CNN's Chris Kokenes |
