Disturbing video captured outside a Florida restaurant shows a man nearly running over an elderly woman just moments after stealing her purse.
It happened Thursday night at a McDonald’s in Okeechobee.
Security footage from inside the restaurant shows a man in a white baseball cap and a maroon shirt walk up to the woman from behind. He then reaches over and grabs her purse and runs out the door.
In the video, the victim can be seen running after the man and catching up with him as he gets into a waiting car.
Video taken outside the restaurant shows the woman open the driver’s door. The man then backs the car up. The woman is knocked to the ground, dragged and nearly run over.
The woman was taken to the hospital. Authorities have not released any information on her injuries.
Police are still searching for the suspect. They believe he’s about 6’2″ and in his late 40s or 50s. Anyone with information is asked to call the Okeechobee Police Department.
