Stun gun, knife used in Portola purse and shoes heist

A thug had a stun gun and knife while robbing a 21-year-old woman of her purse and shoes in Portola on Saturday, police said.

The victim was not seriously injured during the robbery at San Bruno and Bacon streets.

At around 6 a.m., the suspect, a 23-year-old man, put both the knife and stun gun to the woman’s throat and demanded her stuff, police said.

The victim turned over her purse, cash and shoes and the thug fled. He was later arrested and the woman reclaimed her belongings.

She was transported to an area hospital for unspecified injuries that were not life threatening, police said.
