Minnesota investigators looking for a man caught on surveillance video allegedly knocking an elderly woman down while trying to snatch her purse as she walked into a Walgreens didn't have to go far to arrest him.
Now he faces first-degree aggravated attempted robbery and third-degree assault resulting in substantial bodily harm for the Dec. 23 robbery outside the convenience store.
Security video from inside the Walgreens shows patrons entering. As an 81-year-old woman walks inside, a man is seen behind her ripping a purse out of her hands. As she tries to hold on, she's violently dragged to the ground.
"She fell to the ground, hit her head and suffered a brain bleed, among other injuries," the police department said in a Facebook post. "But she’s tough and didn’t give up her purse or the money inside and should be out of the hospital soon."
