BLACK 18-year-old Michael Duku shoves an 82 year old WHITE woman to ground & robs her as she was leaving church

HOMESTEAD — An 82-year-old woman went home Thursday after spending two weeks first in the hospital, and then in rehab.

She was discharged hours after 18-year-old Michael Duku of the North Side was taken into custody on charges including robbery, assault and conspiracy.

Police say Duku and another man shoved the elderly woman to the sidewalk two weeks ago after she attended Sunday church services in Homestead. Duku ran off with her purse.

Rev. Robert Buczak of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, where the woman has been a long-time member of the congregation, said he paid several visits to the woman since she was assaulted.
