A Chicago man is wanted for ripping off a 74-year-old woman's purse… and her finger. Yesterday, Jackie Mlinarcik and her friend were driving home from a supermarket when a guy hit their car, seemingly on purpose.
The two stopped, and the man got out of his car and pretended to look for damage. He then allegedly grabbed the woman's purse from the passenger seat of her car and – seeing a ring on the woman's left pinkie – grabbed her hand and either ripped or cut off the finger, WGN reported.
Mlinarcik said she passed out. The next thing she remembered, she said, she awakened and saw bleeding from her injured finger.
The suspect got away with $150 in the woman's purse and the ring, valued at $10, WGN reported.
