Manhunt for man who Robbed, Severely Beat Elderly Woman

Sheriff Leon Lott said the 68-year-old woman was at the Bi-Lo on Decker Boulevard at 8am Thursday when a man approached her. Lott says the man asked her a question and then started punching her in the face. Lott added that the suspect demanded the woman's purse and fled in a getaway vehicle driven by a second suspect.

Investigators say the suspect was wearing a red shirt and black pants and fled in a dark colored car. Deputies have produced a sketch of the man they are looking for.

At that same Bi-Lo, some shoppers, like Harriett Haywood are a little on edge.

"It's terrifying to know that things like that happen. I do my shopping in the daytime due to fear of night," Haywood said.

Now that this has happened, she doesn't really feel safe any time.
