The attack unfolded just before 10 a.m. Tuesday in front of Vybe Hotel Bronx, located at 4600 White Plains Road.

Police say one man threw the 68-year-old to the ground, hit her multiple times on the head and snatched her purse while the other two kept an eye out. They say the trio took off running after the robbery.
