San Francisco police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the suspect in a violent robbery of an 87-year-old woman in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood earlier this month that left her with several broken bones.
Police said the incident occurred around 9 p.m. on Aug. 8 in the 500 block of Leavenworth Street.

The victim is still recovering from her injuries at a care center.
Police described the suspect as a black man with a skinny face who is 40 to 50 years old, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall and wore a knit cap and a dark jacket.
