Winnipeg police are looking for a suspect who put a victim in her 90s in the hospital after a brazen daylight robbery attempt.
Police said the incident happened Saturday afternoon at Portage Avenue and Vaughn Street, when the senior was confronted by a woman who tried to steal her walker, which caused her to fall to the concrete.
Although the theft was unsuccessful and the suspect took off on foot, the victim was taken to hospital in unstable condition, although she was later upgraded to stable.
