Two elderly grandmothers hospitalized by St. Paul purse snatchers
An 85-year-old grandmother's face was left badly bruised and another 81-year-old grandmother suffered a brain bleed after they were both attacked in separate incidents by St. Paul purse snatchers
Two 80+ year old grandmothers were viciously attacked in separate, unrelated incidents as they shopped in St. Paul ahead of Christmas.
Angela Ferguson, 85, was left badly bruised with one eye swollen shut after two men beat her and stole her purse on December 22 outside a Highland Park grocery store in broad daylight.
Not only did she sustain injuries to her head and face but her daughter says she also suffered a stress-induced heart attack, per WCCO. She lost $4,000 she’d withdrawn as gifts for her family and was forced to miss their Christmas gathering as she spent close to a week in the hospital.
