A 68-year-old woman was fighting for her life Monday after a robber punched her in the face and knocked her down a Queens church staircase Sunday before stealing her purse and taking off in her car.
The NYPD released surveillance images Monday of the suspect they’re searching for in the violent robbery outside Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Briarwood.
The victim was in front of the church on 152nd Street at 8:20 a.m. when a male, believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, sucker punched her, causing her to fall down the flight of stairs, police said.
