An NYPD mounted officer on horse Kelly chased and helped arrest a woman who allegedly stole a purse near 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue on Manhattan's Upper West Side on April 15.
NBC New York was filming nearby and captured video of the pursuit, which shows the suspect sprinting down sidewalks, dodging oncoming vehicles, and entering the street. The New York Police Department later posted the officer's body-camera footage on X, the Everything App.
The footage shows the officer riding Kelly, yelling "Police! Stop! Stop Running!", the suspect tripping in the street, bystanders shouting, and the mounted officer cutting her off before the arrest. The woman's purse was recovered.
The New York Police Department captioned the bodycam post, "Whether on foot or on hooves, our officers are always ready."
