An elderly woman was robbed of her purse and dragged outside her home in Oakland’s Upper Dimond neighborhood, an attack that was captured on a neighbor’s surveillance camera, authorities said.

The incident happened on the 2900 block of California Street near Maple Avenue about 7 p.m. Saturday.

“I had just gotten home,” the 82-year-old victim, who didn’t want her name used, said in an interview Tuesday in her native Mandarin.

The video shows her standing behind a sport utility vehicle parked in the street when a car pulls up and a man and a woman run toward her.

The assailants grab her purse and run back to the car, and the victim goes after them. The woman reaches into the driver’s side door, but the driver takes off, dragging the victim a few feet before she falls to the ground. Moments later, the car returns after hitting a dead end, coming close to the woman as it flees the scene.

The victim suffered bruises but is recovering. No arrests have been made.

She said she wasn’t angry or scared, saying she was fortunate to be living in the United States. “This is the first time something like has happened,” she said.

She said her daughter and grandchild were sitting in the SUV at the time, unaware of what had happened. She seemed resigned to what would happen to her attackers.

“If they find them, that’s fine. If they don’t, that’s OK too,” she said.
