Cops are hunting for a shameless thug who robbed an 85-year-old woman, knocking her to the pavement as she swung her cane in self-defense, police said.

The mugger pounced on the woman on E. 121 St. in East Harlem at about 11:15 a.m. on June 5, but police released a new surveillance video yesterday that showed the heartless crime.

The mugger, described as a Latino in his 30s, accosted the woman and snatched the wallet from her purse. She hit her head as she fell and sustained injuries, cops said. The mugger then yanked her up from the sidewalk.
