New York City police are searching for a woman who they say attacked and robbed a 103-year-old woman in her Bronx apartment building.

It happened around 2:30 p.m. Friday in the Co-Op City section.

Police say the woman followed the elderly victim into the elevator in her apartment building and then confronted her in a hallway.

They say the suspect knocked the elderly woman to the ground and then stole a shopping cart she was pushing. Police say the cart contained two meals she had gotten from a local community center, as well as her purse with an unspecified amount of cash and credit cards.

Police say the suspect ran off after the attack. The victim refused medical treatment at the scene.
