April 2, 2007Houma Police are searching for a man who pushed a woman to the ground and stole her purse as she retrieved her registration papers from her car after he hit her vehicle from behind.
The incident occurred Wednesday at 11:15 a.m. in the 400 block of Seventh Street, according to police.
The 36-year-old woman told police she was driving east on Eighth Street in Houma when she stopped at a traffic sign at Central Avenue. While she was stopped, a white vehicle traveling behind her pushed lightly on the rear bumper of her car, police reported.
