An 88-year-old Seattle woman was hospitalized with serious injuries after a man violently assaulted and robbed her, biting off her finger and stealing her jewelry, police say.

The attack happened on Oct. 13 in the 9900 block of 64th Avenue South in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood. Earlier this week, police released surveillance photos of the suspect — described as a man in his 30s, according to a news release from the Seattle Police Department.

The woman had been on her back porch cleaning household items when the suspect approached and demanded her belongings.

When she refused, police say the man “brutally assaulted” her — forcing her into her garage where he continued the attack.

“The man robbed the victim of her jewelry, and bit off her finger during the incident,” as noted in the release. “Doctors later admitted her into the hospital with serious injuries to her head.”

She was taken to Harborview Medical Center in “serious, but stable” condition, police said.
