The perpetrators, who fled by car, are actively sought by the police.
According to the account of a witness, one or two people were on board the vehicle when it approached the victim, originally from Orsay.
The driver then allegedly got out of the passenger compartment and snatched the elderly woman's handbag.
Unbalanced by the violence of the attack, the victim falls heavily to the ground.
“She suffers from a deformation of the right shoulder and a fracture of the right humerus,” confirms a source close to the case.
She was taken to the Orsay hospital center where she was to have surgery.

The attackers on the run
This Tuesday in the middle of the day, the perpetrators of this violent theft had still not been arrested.
Vulnerable, elderly people are easy targets for snatch thieves.
In July 2020, a man who had just come out of prison was arrested in Longjumeau after a series of six incidents of this nature.
Aged 23, he was operating near Longjumeau hospital and was confused thanks to video surveillance images.
His victims, including one who received a total incapacity for work for 21 days, were aged between 63 and 87.
