preview

San Francisco police are searching for a man caught on video slamming an elderly woman to the ground and wrestling a purse from her hands during a brazen gunpoint robbery Monday afternoon.The 81-year-old woman told authorities the suspect appeared to be 20 to 30 years old and weighed about 230 pounds, according to the San Francisco Police Officers Association, which posted the surveillance video online Tuesday. The suspect’s car was believed to be a silver Jeep Cherokee.The robbery occurred around 4:40 p.m. in the area of 28th and Diamond streets, according to the San Francisco Police Department. The woman was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.In the video, the woman is walking on a sidewalk when a man wearing dark-colored clothing and bright gloves jumps out of a silver SUV, appears to point a gun at the woman and tries snatching her purse as he repeatedly shoves her to the ground.“Give me that purse,” he says before attacking her.The woman’s muffled pleas continue for the six seconds she and the suspect struggle over the purse until the suspect overpowers her after pulling hard enough to lift the woman and slam her to the ground multiple times.He then hops into the SUV through a rear passenger door and the vehicle peels out of the area and up a hill. The car disappears from the surveillance camera’s field of view less than 30 seconds after the incident started.Updated to include drought zones while tracking water shortage status of your area, plus reservoir levels and a list of restrictions for the Bay Area’s largest water districts.More for you“This is reprehensible,” SFPOA officials wrote in a tweet. “If you know anything, please contact SFPD right away.”Anyone with information can call the Police Department’s tip line at 415-575-4444.Alejandro Serrano is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
