Police responded to the area shortly after 11 p.m. where they began a search for a black male reportedly wearing dark clothing who fled on a bicycle.
Residents said the suspect was seen canvassing the neighborhood while riding his bike, stopping at the victim's house then taking her wallet and purse shortly before fleeing towards Irvington.
There were injuries reported.
