Police searching for teens who threw elderly woman to the ground, stole her money

Police released video from a witness's phone.

SAN ANTONIO — Police are searching for a group of teens on the run for their attack on Valentine’s Day.

Officials say the goup of teens violently assaulted a woman then stole her money, and now detectives need your help to find them.

The video released shows several people walking up to the victim, yanking her shirt and then pulling her to the ground. Then the group runs off, leaving her lying injured in the street.

Investigators say the victim was pulled so hard she hit her head on the sidewalk.

This happened last Wednesday on West Cesar Chavez Boulevard and South San Dari Avenue.

Police say the suspects even went through her pockets, and stole several hundred dollars from her following the attack.

Detectives are hoping someone from the neighborhood can identify those suspects.

If you have any information on this attack, give police a call.

The number for the Robbery Task Force is (210) 207-0300.
