A soulless thief pick-pocketed a dead man crushed by a truck in Manhattan — as ghoulish onlookers cheered her on, video obtained by The Post shows.

The woman was recorded apparently pick-pocketing the body of a pedestrian who had been crushed under a tractor-trailer in Midtown — and the sickening crime has left police unable to identify him or notify his family of his death, sources said.

The gruesome crash occurred as the victim, who police said was believed to be in his 50s, was crossing Eighth Avenue at West 44th Street around 11:30 a.m. Thursday.

Video shows the thief, wearing white pants and a black jacket, shimmying under the truck toward the dead man and smoothly reaching for his wallet.

Giddy onlookers — seemingly unbothered by the sight of the dead man — egg her on.

“Go ahead, gangsta! Go ahead!” one man says as he watches the roadway robbery unfold.

Stunned witnesses called the cops on the brazen burglar, but officers have been unable to apprehend the alleged perp, who is wanted for grand larceny, police sources said.

The devilish crime did succeed in dragging out the tragedy — without the victim’s wallet, cops don’t know who he is and haven’t been able to reach his family.

No charges have been filed against the driver, a police spokeswoman said on Saturday.

New Yorkers shown the video Saturday reacted with horror.

I feel like NY City is on the precipice of facing God's terrible judgement.

I’m batting .400 when it comes to “knowing the demographics” of the asshole in these situations.

I’m right again.

Feral humans.

We know the thief's a sociopath democrat...

The saddest part of this story is that the police don't know who the victim is and have no way of notifying his family. The police should post a picture of the victim's face, or an artists depiction. Someone might recognize him.

I wish the good black people in this country would stand up and at least try to fix their ethnic culture of thieves, thugs and murderers. Black crime is dividing this nation and unless it stops, there will be no winners.
