Officers say the 76-year-old was left shaken following the incident in Sandy Road, in Renfrew, at around 12.40pm on Sunday.
The pensioner was allegedly pushed to the ground by a 54-year-old man who then is said to have made off with her handbag.

The 54-year-old is due to appear in Paisley Sheriff Court today.
