HOUSTON — Houston police investigators are asking for the public’s help to find a man seen on home surveillance video putting an 86-year-old woman in a headlock while they say he stole from her.
It happened on Monday at a home on Robertson Street near Cavalcade in North Houston.
In the video, the victim is watering plants on her porch when the suspect approaches and starts talking to her. He then grabs her by her neck and pulls her into the house.

At this point, it’s not clear what was taken. Houston police say the woman was sent to the hospital.
