Mounted New York police officer and his horse corner suspected purse snatcher in Manhattan

A suspected purse snatcher was rounded up after being chased through the streets of Manhattan by a mounted New York police officer and his horse. The officer — whose name has not been released — and his horse quickly took up the chase that was captured on his bodycam and also by a television news crew that happened to be in the area for an unrelated story. The brief hoof chase went along sidewalks, under scaffolding, between parked cars and across streets before the woman was stopped by a pedestrian and then detained by the officer.
