Police are searching for a man who snagged a 70-year-old womans purse as she walked to her car in a church parking lot in Nashville, Tenn., Thursday, leaving her injured.

When she was within reach, the suspect grabbed her purse and began driving away as she held onto it, which forced her onto the pavement, according to WCVB 5.

The Nashville Metropolitan Police Department posted the video to YouTube Thursday, asking for tips to find the suspect, Gilbert D. Ostring Jr., 48, who was released from prison in June 2017.
