CHELSEA — A woman having a seizure was robbed of her $25,000 Rolex in the backseat of a cab, police said.

The thieves snatched the 22-year-old woman's purse, which had the expensive watch inside, through the taxi's open window on Aug. 21 about 5 a.m. at Eighth Avenue and West 21st Street, according to the NYPD.

Three witnesses saw the incident and the thieves fled on foot, authorities said.

No arrests had been made as of Monday morning, police said.
