FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — An 83-year-old woman was hurt Sunday evening in Forest Hills after a man knocked her over and stole her purse, according to police.

The woman was on Queens Boulevard near 112th Street when the man got out of an SUV, pushed her to the ground and grabbed her purse, the NYPD said in a news release.

He got back in the car and drove off with the woman's belongings, including an iPhone, her bank cards and $50 in cash, police said.

The woman was brought to the hospital with a broken elbow.
