A shocking video captures the moment an elderly woman is mugged by a 'knife-wielding' thief in broad daylight. 

The 71-year-old victim has on her way to Frankley Health Centre, near Birmingham, yesterday afternoon to collect a prescription when she was approached by the alleged mugger who claimed to have a knife.

The footage, taken from a security camera outside the health centre has since been uploaded to Facebook in the hope of finding the person responsible. 

In the video, the victim can be seen walking ahead of the mugger. They then rush alongside her and start trying to wrestle her handbag off her shoulder. 

A tussle for the bag ensues before the thief yanks the bag off her before brazenly walking off in the opposite direction.
