Woman Knocked Unconscious In San Rafael Mugging
SAN RAFAEL (CBS SF) - San Rafael police are searching for two males who knocked a woman unconscious and robbed her as she was leaving work on Wednesday night.
The woman was leaving Marin Filmworks at 703 Third St. at 8:30 p.m. when she felt something pulling on her purse, which was draped over her right shoulder, San Rafael police said. When she looked back, she saw two males tugging on her handbag.
