Police in Bellevue are urging those who live, work and shop in the city’s downtown to be extra vigilant about their safety after two random attacks occurred last Friday.

The Bellevue Police Department (BPD) said a 72-year-old woman was attacked, robbed and thrown to the ground. Her attackers, described as two men in a sedan, pulled up as she was getting into her car. A struggle over the woman鈥檚 purse ensued, the BPD stated.

“She had just finished a shopping trip and was about to enter her vehicle when a male snatched her purse and then pushed the victim to the ground,” Drew Anderson, a public information officer with BPD, said.

The woman was thrown to the ground and sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.

Earlier Friday, police said a group of teens were walking downtown when a vehicle approached, those inside flashed a weapon and scared them. Police believed they were the same people who attacked the elderly woman.

“The suspects drove up to them and showed a rifle and made threatening gestures to them, so that caused panic for those juveniles,” Anderson said.

Crime can happen anywhere. The BPD said everyone should be aware and take steps to ensure their safety.

“Putting their lives before their possessions, following the demands of the suspect, and calling 911 when they are in a safe place to do so,” Anderson said.

There is little information about both the suspects and the vehicle involved in the incident involving the teenagers. Those who might know who is responsible are encouraged to call the BPD, Crimestoppers of Puget Sound at 800-222-TIPS or 911.
