NEW YORK (WABC) -- The deputy mayor tackled a mugger who stole a woman's cell phone in Midtown Manhattan last night.Deputy Mayor Ed Skyler heard the woman screaming on West 48th Street, between 6th and 7th avenues, just after 8 p.m. last night.
He then saw a group of teens running westbound on West 48th Street, and chased after them.
Skyler knocked one of the four muggers to the icy pavement and tried to hold him, but the other three helped him escape.
All four teens eventually got away, but not before giving up the woman's cell phone.
Skyler then returned to the 41-year-old woman, who is from West Orange, N.J., and returned her cell phone.
She was shaken up but otherwise uninjured.
No arrests were made. During a canvas, two groups of young men were detained nearby, but the victim was not able to identify them.
