Per Serena Solomon at DNAinfo:
The suspect ... asked for the victim's wallet and cellphone so he could write a ticket for public intoxication, cops said.
He told them he would be right back, but never returned, police said.
DNAinfo and NY1 both have video of the suspect.

Ha! Welcome to New York, suckers.
LOL, yeah, I saw this on the news last night and had the same reaction as the guys above.
How drunk do you think they were?? I am guessing not much and that the victims, although I feel it sucks for them, were dumb rubes.
Initiated!
That's some Chevy Chase shit right there- "Uhh talk to the cowboy he's with the FBI"
Haha, victims of crime are to be scorned.
did the "federal" officer show a gun? If so, don't disparage these people. Most everyone will do what someone with confident authority tells them, especially if wearing a gun or uniform anyway. I believe most people are hardwired to be slaves.
Welcome to the neighborhood...now go back home.
Wallet inspector.
Have to disagree with you on this one... if only to say that this "trend" might escalate to kidnapping. Imagine saying NO to someone with a badge and gun? Scary.
