Police say it is believed the woman attempted to record the interaction before the man knocked the phone out of her hand and pushed her to the ground.
The release states that the woman screamed and the man threw her phone over a fence before taking off in an unknown direction.
She received medical attention and reported the incident to police the next day.
Police describe the suspect as having a light complexion, approximately 50 years old, approximately 5’8’’ to 6’ tall, with a slim build and short black and grey hair. He was last seen wearing sunglasses, a baseball cap, brown khaki pants and grey runners.
