It was a day from hell for an Ancaster woman in her 80s.

Hamilton police say the woman was robbed and driven around at gunpoint Thursday afternoon.

He pointed a gun into her side and demanded that she drive him around.

Police say the man rummaged through her purse and made her withdraw cash from an ATM.

At one point, he forced the victim into the passenger seat and drove her around the city while keeping her at gunpoint.
