Evelyn Searl, 75, was eating at a restaurant in Grand Rapids, Michigan with her daughter when 24-year-old Mikayla Hull rode up on her bike and snatched her purse off the table
@highlight
Searl ran after her, but fell on her face before catching up with her
@highlight
Three men were able to apprehend Hull and detain her until police could arrive
@highlight
While they had her pinned down, Hull proceeded to bite Jonathan Damon, the man straddling her
@highlight
Mr Damon responded by punching her in the face
@highlight
Hull has been arrested and is pending charges of larceny and assault
@highlight
Police do not intend to press charges against Mr Damon for hitting Hull
It seems that witnesses believed that @placeholder hit Ms Searl, and while she admitted to taking the bag, Hull tells Mr Damon that she didn't touch the woman.
