NEW YORK -- (WPIX) -- Two women were threatened with acid and robbed at the same Upper East Side ATM this month, police said Tuesday.
Both attacks occurred at a Citibank ATM at 266 E 68th St.
Most recently, a man approached a woman, 36, Monday around 3:35 p.m. as she withdrew money, police said.
He allegedly threatened to throw acid in her face if she did not hand over $1,000.
The woman took $500 out of the ATM, which she handed over to her attacker, and he fled, police say.
