By Roni Singer-Heruti, Haaretz Correspondent
A 90-year-old woman was on Wednesday found in a critical condition outside her Holon apartment. Police suspect she was robbed.
Ayalon District police rushed to the scene, and went into the victim's apartment. Due to her serious condition, she was unable to give evidence.
However, since she was found in her pajama, police believe that she either took her burglars by surprise or was beaten as she opened the door.
A member of the medical crew told Haaretz: "When we arrived at the scene, we found the woman soaked in her own blood. She was sitting on the floor, muttering. When we realized she's in a critical condition, we rushed her to hospital."
