A 73 year old Galesburg woman was allegedly punched in the face and robbed of a small amount of cash in the 1300 block of N. Henderson St., Saturday.
Police found the woman outside near Galesburg Towers with a bloody nose and face. She told officers she was on the west side of Henderson walking her dog when an assailant grabbed her from behind, punched her and took $10 from her pants pocket.
The individual then jumped a fence and headed northbound. The woman declined medical attention.
There are currently no suspects in the case and a police report says there are no cameras in the area.
The person was described as a black male in his 20’s wearing a blue or black sweatshirt. Police searched the area shortly after the incident and did not find anyone matching that description.
