Thugs slug elderly woman, steal her purse in broad daylight


Two heartless thieves assaulted an elderly woman in a purse-snatch attack in Queens—and it was all caught on video surveillance, cops said.


The suspects briskly walked up behind the 73-year-old victim Tuesday at 3:20 p.m. on 153rd Street and 88th Avenue in Jamaica as she slowly made her way down the street with a cart full of groceries.


The female suspect snatched the victim’s purse as her pal, believed to be a roughly 18-year-old man, socked the woman in the face sending her to the ground, cops said.


The thieves ran off with her pocketbook and left her struggling to get up.


Her purse had $ 100, a ‘Trac’ cell phone and other items.


She was treated for a laceration to her ear and abrasions to her arm at Jamaica Hospital, according to authorities.


The female, also believed to be about 18, was last seen wearing a vest.


The second culprit was wearing dark clothing and a pair of cargo pants.
