Fox News
The woman who was shoved and robbed on the steps of her church in Queens, N.Y., remains hospitalized after sustaining a skull fracture, her nephew told "The ingraham Angle."
Security camera footage of the incident shows the woman falling backwards on three steps before landing on her back. She appears to be writhing in agony as the suspected thief is seen rummaging through her purse and running away. The suspect stole $300 and her cellphone before making off with her car.

"She's making a recovery. We just visited her in the hospital," her nephew, Daniel Coffaro Hill, said Tuesday on "The Ingraham Angle." "She's able to speak to us a little bit. She still cannot [make] full sentences or anything like that. She suffered a skull fracture… the whole family has come from out of state to see her… They think it's going to be a long recovery period."
Hill said his aunt, who was in critical condition, managed to get up and walk to her car after the attack, but realized that her purse and her keys were stolen. The suspect was allegedly watching her from nearby, Hill said, and returned to steal the woman's 2006 Nissan Altima to make his getaway, according to police.
