Call it neigh-borhood policing. 

A member of the NYPD’s Mounted Unit chased an alleged robbery suspect down a busy Times Square street on horseback in an arrest that was caught on body camera video, the department said. 

The 34-year-old suspect swiped an item from a sunglass vendor’s display near West 40th Street and Seventh Avenue Saturday evening, the NYPD said. 

When the 60-year-old vendor confronted the man, the man swung at the vendor with a broken piece of glass before fleeing, police said. 

After the robbery, the vendor flagged down one of the NYPD’s mounted officers, the department said. Body camera footage provided by police shows the officer appearing to speak with the alleged suspect before the alleged suspect runs down West 40th Street, toward Eighth Avenue.  

As the mounted officer catches up with the alleged suspect mid-block, two other officers pursuing him on foot take him into custody, the footage shows. 

Police didn’t release the man’s name or say what charges he was facing. 

“Saturday evening, a male robbed a sunglass vendor in Times Square, but a @NYPDSpecialops Mounted officer was hot on his trail,” the department tweeted. “All of your NYPD officers are involved in crime reduction, even the four-legged ones.”
