what exactly happened here?

I noticed this bag and its content, or what might be left of it, on the sidewalk in Chinatown one early morning. did someone just drop it and didn't notice? Or was the person attacked and had to flee without the bag? Or is it a bag someone snatched and threw away after having taken whatever valuables might have been in it? Or an accident, and this was left behind?

No one was left holding the bag.
