NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. (NBC) — A man was caught on camera robbing a woman at gunpoint in Florida.
The suspect surprised the woman from behind by putting a gun next to her neck.
It happened on a sidewalk she knew well but now this 19-year-old is carrying tremendous fears.
“I’m really skeptical about everything about being out there,” said the victim. “I’m scared to see someone look at me for more than a minute,” she added.
Police said she was robbed in broad daylight in her own neighborhood in Florida.
“I had my phone in hand and I’m former law enforcement,” said Keith Bankston, a neighbor who recorded the robbery.
The teen said she doesn’t know the man who robbed her. Police said he took her book bag and cellphone.
“He said ‘give me everything,’” she said.
The victim said she feels lucky to be alive and she’s thankful her neighbor was there to catch the video which has been vital evidence in the police investigation.
“I’m really thankful he did all that,” said the victim.
