The NYPD is looking for a man they say choked and robbed another man in Central Park.

It happened Thursday night near the 79th Street Transverse and West Drive.

Officials say the man in this sketch approached the 53-year-old victim, told him he was hungry and asked for money.  They say victim kept walking, the suspect then came up from behind and put him in a chokehold until he passed out. The victim woke up out about half an hour later and found his wallet and backpack were gone.
