Elderly Woman Injured in Home Robbery

Recently, an elderly woman in Hermitage, PA had her house broken into. The woman, whose ailing husband resides in a nursing home, was alone when her attacker forced his way into her home at around 10:30 p.m.

The male assailant threw the elderly woman down, hit her in the face, and then cut her with a utility knife. He then grabbed her purse, from which he took $5 cash before fleeing.  


The suspect is still at large. While a property claims adjuster will be able to help the woman with any damages to her home, the emotional damages she is suffering are likely far worse.

Fortunately, if caught, the attacker stands to be arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, breaking and entering, assault on a female, and other charges. Anyone with information relating to the tragic event is encouraged to contact Hermitage Police.
