Two men were arrested after robbing an elderly woman in Qawra on Wednesday.
The police said the 84-year-old woman was walking in Triq Dawret il-Gżejjer at around 1pm when she was attacked and robbed. She was slightly injured.
The men were in a car, which stopped as it approached the pedestrian. The passenger, a 35-year-old man from Marsa, got out of the car and attacked her. He was held by witnesses until the police arrived on site and arrested him.
The second man, a 31-year-old from Rabat, fled the scene but was identified and arrested later.
Both men are being held at the police lock-up in Floriana.
The investigation is being led by the Major Crimes Unit and the Qawra district police.
