August 16, 2007 -- A former model turned the tables on a mugger, beating him senseless on a Manhattan street until cops finally pried her off, authorities said yesterday.
Silva Natividad, 54, yesterday credited the TV show "COPS" for spurring her to tackle Jonathan Burkes on First Avenue near 38th Street at noon Monday.
"He grabbed my money and pushed me," she said. "But I didn't fall. I got a grip on myself."
Natividad said Burkes tried to take off with the cash, but "you know how in 'COPS,' when they jump on the person before they run away? That's what I did."
