    Two vicious scooter-riding muggers tried to snatch an elderly Brooklyn woman’s purse in broad daylight this weekend – causing her to fall to the ground and smash her face, cops said.

    The 88-year-old victim was walking on 50th Street near Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park around 4 p.m. Sunday when the violent pair – a man and woman – approached her, police said.

    They then latched onto the senior’s purse, pulling her down on to the pavement and leaving her with facial fractures and damaged teeth, cops said.

    As long as the court system keeps letting them out they’ll continue to do it. Make an example out of them. Keep them in there till they rot POS.
