The suspect then took off. he was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black pants, a black face mask, white gloves and black sneakers with a white sole.

No arrests have yet been made. An investigation is ongoing.

The robbery was the latest in a string of crimes at the mall, including a similar smash-and-grab at the same Macy's in August.

The mall's management said in a statement to NBC New York that the "safety and security of shoppers, retailers and employees is our highest priority."
