Tips

• Pedestrians will fight back if you attack them enough times, or if you use a weapon.
• Robbing pedestrians will increase your wanted level if police witness the act.
• The amount of cash dropped is small, so this is a slow method for earning money.
• Using a melee weapon like a baseball bat or crowbar can knock pedestrians down faster, but also increases the chance of them fighting back or attracting police attention.
• Be aware of your surroundings; other pedestrians may run away, and police patrols are common.

Small amounts of cash per pedestrian robbed. This is a basic, albeit inefficient, way to earn money in Grand Theft Auto III. It can be useful for quick, small sums or if you are just starting out and have no weapons.
