Thief attacks 77-year-old woman with a pipe, steals her pizza: video
As the woman attempted to open the door, the man blocked her path, menaced her with the weapon and then clocked her with it, the clip shows.
He then grabbed one of the pizza boxes and ran off.
Tuscon Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic male, 5-foot-6 or shorter, with a wrinkly face.
Investigators are asking anyone who witnessed the robbery or a man fleeing the area with a pizza box to call 911, or 88-CRIME to remain anonymous.

He just grabbed the pie & ran.
Almost like some initiation ritual.
Go attack old lady, bring back anything you stole.
Now, he's on video. Unbrilliant!!

(937 posts)They have a bulletin board that says For those in need that has at least 20 pre-paid pizza receipts that you can take and turn in for a pizza. You can also donate a pizza and by leaving the receipt there. I thought that was really nice. No need to bash anyone.
