A man and his female accomplice snatched the gold chain of a 69-year-old woman at knifepoint and injured her by pushing her down in Maharashtra's Thane city, a police official said on Friday.

The incident took place in the city's Vartak Nagar area on March 20 but a case could not be immediately registered as the woman suffered a hip fracture due to the fall and was admitted to a hospital, said the official.
