An elderly Dublin woman was hospitalised and left needing an 'operation on her hip' following a horrific attack in South Dublin on Bank Holiday Monday.

The 89-year-old was attacked in the car park of Kilnamanagh Shopping Centre on the Mayberry Road in Tallaght, just outside the Dunnes Stores in the area.

One eye-witness said that two lads pulled up in a car and took her handbag and money.

They said: "The handbag was over the woman's shoulder at the time of the attack and the two men drove up beside her and dragged the bag and her alongside the car until they eventually took the bag."
