A woman was followed to the front steps of her San Francisco home and robbed Thursday, police said.

Around 12:10 a.m. in the 1000 block of Fell Street, the crook put his gloved hand over the woman’s mouth, warned her to be quiet and not to move. He then threw her to the ground and took her purse, Park Station police said.

Cops are hunting the robber.
