(WPVI) — Police are looking for the man who knocked out a woman who was walking home from the gym in South Philadelphia.
The attack happened at 8:40 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15th on the 700 block of Montrose near South 8th Street.
Investigators say a witness heard a loud thump and looked outside.
Police say the suspect was seen holding the victim, who was unconscious. Investigators say the man punched the woman right in the face.
When the witness asked what was happening, the suspect allegedly put the victim on the ground and fled the scene.
“It seems that after the incident, he went through her pockets and he assisted her to some stairs nearby before he left the scene,” said Capt. Martin Derbyshire of the Philadelphia Police.
