Authorities in Sherburne County are asking for help in locating a man who allegedly attacked a homeowner, stole her purse and drove off in a stolen vehicle on Wednesday.

Capt. Joel Brott of the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office said a man entered a house on the 10900 block 37th Street in Palmer Township and grabbed a woman's purse. As he left, the woman confronted the burglar. He pushed her to the ground, then fled in a motor vehicle.

No word on whether her door was locked.

Friendly advice: Never confront a burglar unless you are armed. Even if you are armed, it's probably still a better idea to barricade yourself and let him go away.
