Police are searching for a man who attacked a woman in East Passyunk Crossing.
The female met with authorities at 7:12 p.m. Saturday on the 800 block of McClellan Street, telling them an unknown male came up to her, said “Hi” and grabbed her purse, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant pulled the item back in her possession, with the offender punching the left side of her face to reacquire her holder, which contained credit and debit cards, identification and $500.
The victim, who did not require immediate medical treatment, described the attacker, who fled southbound on Eighth Street from McClellan Street, as black, 25 to 30 years old and 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9; having a medium build and a dark complexion; and wearing a black knit cap and a navy blue jacket.
