Cops arrested the brute who mugged a 98 year-old man on West 21 Street near Mermaid Avenue on January 15, police said.
Bruce Lewis, 49, followed the victim into the elevator and waited until the man reached his apartment door before attacking him, cops said.
Lewis threw the defenseless man to the ground and punched him in the face before walking off with money he snatched from his pocket, cops said.
He was charged with robbery and assault, cops said.
This wasn’t his first run-in with the law. Lewis has a long rap sheet dating back to the 1980s with several robberies, burglaries and an assault charge in 1983, cops said.
