Purse Snatcher Punches Woman at Miami Gas Station

Miami Police released surveillance video Tuesday of a violent robbery at a gas station.

Dramatic video shows a man walking up to a gray Porsche convertible that was parked at the Shell Gas Station located on Northeast 54th Street and Biscayne Boulevard.

The incident happened on July 25th as a woman sat in the parked car.

The robber stormed towards the car and yanked the purse from the woman.
