She held tight to her purse, but the suspects pushed her to the ground. She reportedly twisted her ankle in the process. It was only when she was allegedly kicked in the head that she relinquished her bag.

The men–identified as two black males, one of whom has dreadlocks–got away in a stolen black Ford Focus, police say.
Last month, a 75-year-old man was targeted at a Pearland H-E-B after suspects watched him withdraw money from a nearby ATM. He was followed to the store where he was robbed, shot and killed.
The woman, who received minor injuries, says she’s frightened from yesterday’s incident.
