These are the shocking injuries inflicted on an 87-year-old woman when she was robbed in her own home.
The 87-year-old great gran was attacked in her home in Wylde Green, Birmingham on Monday.
The frail woman did not hear the intruder break into her home at 6.30am.
But the attacker forced her out of bed and dragged her around the house demanding money. The 87-year-old was left with severe bruising to both arms and her legs.
DC Laura Halpin of West Midlands Police , who is leading the investigation, said: “This was a brutal and heartless attack on this lady and we are absolutely determined to catch the person responsible.

“Our teams are carrying out extensive house to house, reviewing CCTV in the local area and conducting foot patrols.
"Forensics and other specialist teams have been gathering evidence from the address too, but we need the local community to get on board; share our appeal and contact us with information.”
The man is described as white, around 5ft 8ins tall, aged between 18 and 25 and slim. He was wearing dark clothing and baseball hat with an orange rim.
DC Halpin added: “I’d urge people who may know who is responsible to look at the injuries of this lady and do the right thing - get in touch with us.
"Any information you have, no matter how small or insignificant you think it is could be vital to our investigation.”
