. PAUL, Minn., May 11 (UPI) -- Police in Minnesota said a man who snatched an 85-year-old's purse was chased down by the woman's 65-year-old daughter. St. Paul police spokesman Sgt. Paul Schnell said the man struggled with the two women at about 2:18 p.m. Friday and fled with the older woman's purse, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Tuesday. The daughter gave chase and the man attacked her with a knife, cutting her on the cheek, but dropped the purse and fled in a Buick when she used her cane to break the weapon. The woman did not require medical attention, Schnell said. A witness took down the man's license plate and Perry Young, 52, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault and first-degree attempted aggravated robbery, the newspaper said.
