Police are seeking information on an attempted robbery of an 86-year-old woman in Dandenong last month.
The victim was walking with the aid of a walker on Foster Street about 3.35pm on Tuesday 21 October when an unknown female attempted to steal her handbag.
During a brief scuffle, the victim managed to fight off the would-be robber until three males came to her aid, police say.
The robber fled in an unknown direction.
She was described as Caucasian, about 20-30 years old, 170 centimetres, shoulder-length light-coloured hair and thin build.
At the time, she was wearing light blue jeans, a bright-coloured patterned crop top, cream scarf or similar tucked in her pants.
