Fukuburger a popular spot that serves gourmet burgers released the footage on Twitter asking for the public to help find the man. “This just happened in our Fukuburger ChinatownLv. 5:38 pm.

Luckily no one was hurt during this incident. We previously shared a story about how a woman was left paralyzed after being robbed for her purse in Houston.
Update: Joseph Harrell was only 17-years-old when he committed the crime he was even mad at the fact that the victim raised a lot of money through gofundme. The teen was heard on a jail call, confessing to the crime. We were snatching purses,” Harrell confessed. “I hopped out, snatched the purse, the lady ran with the money, I grabbed her, slammed her and she was paralyzed. The lady probably wants justice and some more sh*t. They’ll try to max me out 20 years basically. That b*tch. I ain’t going for it. The b*tch already ran up $230,000 off GoFundMe. B*itch better run on with her life. Like, sh*t you done run up $230,000. Look. They say she ran up $230,000 and she’ll be back walking in no less than a year. He said over the jail phone.
The recording was obtained from a source close to the investigation amid a judge’s controversial decision to cut the suspect’s bond in half from $200,000 to $100,000.
Harrell, who was also charged in a separate robbery that took place more than a week later, also had his bond lowered from $40,000 to $30,000 for that case.
President of Houston Police Officers Union Douglas Griffith told ABC 13 that Harrell will be a threat to the public if he makes bond. My concern is for the public. If this kid gets out of jail, he is going to victimize more individuals. He does not care about anyone but himself, and for the judge to lower his bond baffles my mind. I can’t wrap my head around it. This kid is a danger to others and the community and needs to be locked up.
Harrell’s 19-year-old accomplice, Zy’Nika Ayesha Woods, was also arrested and charged with robbery. Woods was handed a $50,000 bond. If Harrell makes bond, he would be placed under house arrest and be required to wear a GPS monitor.
