TULSA, Okla. (KOKI) — Tulsa police are looking for a man shown on video at a north Tulsa Dollar General dragging two women out of the store trying to take one of their pursesPolice say it happened on June 2nd at the store near Latimer and Sheridan.

The video shows the suspect walking into the store, seeing the woman with the purse, and watching her for a moment before attacking her.

It all happened within 10 seconds.

The victim, who asked not to be identified, said it happened so quickly it was a natural reaction to try and hold onto her purse not wanting the suspect to have all of her information.

The video shows the woman’s daughter grabbing onto her to stop the attack, but the suspect was strong enough to drag them both.

The strap of the purse eventually breaks and the suspect takes off empty-handed.

Police ask if you have any information on who the suspect is to call CRIME STOPPERS at 918-596-COPS. You can remain anonymous.
