Phoenix police released a sketch today of the man they believe beat and robbed a 90-year-old woman in her Phoenix home over the weekend.
On October 10, police say a man broke into the woman’s South 12th Street home by going through an unlocked kitchen window.
The man grabbed the woman around the neck and forced her into a bedroom, where he pushed her onto a bed, breaking her clavicle.
The man told the woman that if she stopped screaming, he would let her go and proceeded to ransack her house for the next hour.
