He followed her into the lift and stood behind her.
Once the lift doors closed and the lift started moving, he allegedly whipped out a knife and punched her in the face.
The elderly woman collapsed to the ground, begged for her life and said: “Take what you want, please just don’t hurt me.”
After taking her handbag and mobile phone, he allegedly took out a jar of curry powder from his bag and threw the powder in her face.
The incident, which took place at about 7.50pm on Friday, left the woman so traumatised, she no longer dares to take the lift alone.
“Now I make sure there is a familiar face in the lift before I go in,” she told The New Paper on Sunday in Mandarin.
