83-Year-Old Wheelchair-Bound Woman Attacked During Camden County Robbery

HADDON TWP., N.J. (CBS)— Police in Camden County are searching for a suspect who attacked an elderly woman during a break-in this past weekend.

The victim is an 83-year-old, wheel-chair bound woman, who was home alone when a man came to the front door of her Collings Avenue home in Haddon Township at about 7:15 p.m. Sunday.

Investigators say the man threatened to kill her if she did not give him money.

The victim briefly struggled with the suspect and was able to press a Life Alert device around her neck.

The man took cash from the elderly woman’s purse and fled the scene.
