Breaking News: Elderly Woman Injured in Shoplifting Incident in Charlottenburg, Berlin

A shocking incident unfolded yesterday morning in Charlottenburg, a district in Berlin. A man, who is yet to be identified, shoplifted from a supermarket located near the Zoo, and during his escape, he attempted to snatch an elderly woman's handbag on the sidewalk of Kantstraße.

The elderly woman, aged 74, was caught off guard by the man's actions and fell to the ground with her bag. She sustained several bone fractures and lost consciousness. Emergency services arrived at the scene promptly and transported her to a hospital for inpatient treatment.

The man, who was initially apprehended by a store detective around 9 a.m., managed to escape the detective's grasp. The stolen items from the supermarket have been left behind, potentially providing valuable evidence for the investigation.
