The robber kept demanding Ms Newman hand over her money.

'He said give me your money... he grabbed me by the neck and hit me in the head,' Ms Newman said.

The elderly woman had to get stitches in the back of her head and suffered severe bruising to her face. She said she is slowly regaining her vision after her eyes were swollen shut

She was left with scratches on her arms and legs and still can not eat food after her lip was busted open.

'This character will be caught and I hope and pray somebody does not do to his family what he has done to me,' Ms Newman said.
