The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. as the woman was exiting the Apple store on lower Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich after purchasing electronic items, authorities said.

The suspects were in the store with the woman when she purchased the items and then tried to take the items from her as she was leaving, according to cops.

Both the victim and a family member she was with tried to fight off the would-be thieves before a good samaritan came to help and fended off the suspects, officials said.

Eventually, the men backed off and fled the area in a silver sedan on Grigg Street. The victim suffered minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The suspects are described as two black males, tall and thin, under 30 years of age. One was wearing dark clothing and the other was wearing dark pants and a pink hooded sweatshirt.
