The 24-year-old victim was walking along Lightwood Road about 12.45pm when the teen allegedly approached.
Police said he pushed her against a fence, punched her and stole her purse.
They arrested him after he allegedly used the victim’s credit card later that day.
He will answer robbery charges in a Children’s Court at a later date.
