Police said the woman struggled with the man, but he eventually gained control of the purse and jumped into the back seat of the black Cadillac, which had paper plates.
The robbery was caught on video because the victim's vehicle was equipped with cameras.
The victim described the suspect as being a Black man who was wearing a gray hoodie, gray pants and white or gray shoes.
