An elderly couple was assaulted and robbed during a daylight attack at the underground car park at MovieTowne, Invaders Bay, Port of Spain, on Friday.

At around 1.38 p.m. a 63-year-old woman and her 71-year-old husband parked their Hyundai Santa Fe at the car park and exited the vehicle when they were approached by two men. One of the suspects was armed with what appeared to be a firearm.

Police said the armed suspect attempted to snatch the woman’s handbag, causing her to become fearful. There was a struggle, during which she felt a sharp pain to her right forearm. Both victims were struck to the head with the firearm.
