Robber Beats Up Grandma For Purse As Shoppers Stand by And Watch

A Fort Worth grandma was robbed and beaten in broad daylight while onlookers recorded the incident with cell phones.

“This woman comes up and she said I want your purse, and I said ‘No!’” Inga Evans recalled.

It didn’t stop there. It all happened Friday at the Walmart on Berry Street. The mugger was persistent, but Evans put up a fight.

“She kept hitting me with both fists and worked me over pretty good until she knocked me down; and as she knocked me down on the concrete, I let go of the purse.”

Sgt. Ray Bush with Fort Worth Police Department said, “Her purse was taken. It was determined later that it was used at some area businesses.”
