A man threw a woman to the ground and stole her purse Thursday in an attack caught on video on Chicago's Northwest Side, according to police.
At around 7 a.m., the 48-year-old woman was standing near her car in the 3000 block of North Keating Avenue in the Kelvin Park neighborhood, according to Chicago police.
Authorities said the man approached the woman, grabbed her from behind and threw her to the ground before running away with her belongings.
Several people tried to catch the suspect, according to police, who said he was able to escape.
Surveillance video from across the street showed the woman clearing snow off her car as the man walked up behind her, before grabbing her, throwing her onto the street and running away.
