A knife-wielding robber needed only $4, so he refused to take a $10 bill from his victim and waited while the man made change at a pizza parlor, police said.
He then took the $4 and ran off, only to be captured a few blocks away, police said Tuesday.
The suspect, James Mitchell, 48, of Mount Vernon, was arraigned on Tuesday on robbery and weapon charges in Greenburgh Town Court. His lawyer, Arlene Popkin, refused to comment.
Police Capt. Joseph DeCarlo said it "really is an odd case, but it is a robbery."
"For me, this is unique, where the robber doesn't want all your money," he said.
He said he had no idea why Mitchell wanted only $4.
