The 56-year-old woman said she was near Congress Street heading toward Long Island College Hospital at 11:10 pm when she noticed a suspicious man watching her on the Congress Street overpass. She continued down the boulevard until three men ran up on her, threw her to the ground, snatched her chain and ID, and grabbed her purse, cops said.
