Robber victimizes 101-year-old woman in NYC

March 10, 2007, 7:29 AM EST

NEW YORK -- A mugger attacked a 101-year-old woman, punching her in the face and knocking her over before making off with her purse, according to police and a security-camera video.

The same suspect moved on to victimize an 85-year-old woman shortly afterward, police said Friday as they pressed the public for tips that could identify him.

The robberies happened in separate buildings in the Jamaica section of Queens on Sunday.

The 101-year-old woman was assaulted in her building's lobby around 12:30 p.m. Security-camera footage, aired in news reports, showed the mugger approaching her, whacking her in the face and sending her and her walker tumbling.

The woman, Rose Morat, said she was heading to church when she encountered the man in the lobby, and he offered to help her make her way out. She declined _ "I know how to handle myself," she said _ and he attacked.

"The next thing I knew, I had a big bang on the side of my face," said Morat, who suffered a broken cheekbone. The suspect took her purse, making off with $33.

The incident left Morat bruised, but not shaken.

"I'm quite sure that if it had happened when I was younger, I would have been after him," she said. "I'm a very strong woman. I've been that way my whole life."

About a half-hour later, 85-year-old Solange Elizee was assaulted outside her apartment. Police said the suspect followed her on elevator and got out on a different floor from hers, but then confronted her by her apartment door.

Elizee said he asked her in the elevator what floor she was headed to, explaining, "I like to help old people."

But as she went to close her door, he threatened, "'I get you,"' Elizee said. She said the suspect also beat her in the face and pushed her down.

"God saved my life," she said.

He took her purse, getting away with $32, police said.

I saw the story on the news and she is one feisty little woman! It was amazing! She was saying that if she didn't just have two hip replacements, she would have ran after him!Chat Icon Chat Icon
She was bruised on her face but in pretty good spirits. I was so amazed! The video of that horrific act was so hard to watch and I hope someone gives that scum the beating of his life very soonChat Icon

The video was horrible!!!

When they interviewed her, I coud not believe she was 101!!!! She looked/sounded thirty years younger!!!! It was inspiring!
