Police in New York City have arrested a person suspected of stealing a 96-year-old man's electric wheelchair.
Erich Plan rode his chair to his dermatologist's office Tuesday morning but had to leave it outside due to steps that made the front door inaccessible. He left two hours later to find someone had snatched up the wheelchair. Video released by the NYPD on Friday showed the suspect rolling off with the scooter. The suspect, now identified as 45-year-old Torie Branch, was arrested in the Bronx late Friday after police got an anonymous tip.
Branch is facing charges of grand larceny and possession of stolen property. Attorney information for the Bronx man was not immediately available.
