SAN DIEGO --A 73-year-old San Diego woman fought off a man who tried to steal her dog by beating him with a bag of books and kicking him in the groin, police said.

The woman, who was not identified by police, was pushing a shopping cart around 10:45 p.m. Tuesday when a man on a bicycle snatched a bag from her cart that contained her 12-year-old Yorkshire terrier, according to San Diego police Sgt. Jim Schorr.

It's not clear whether the man realized there was an animal inside the bag.

As he rode away, the woman swung her book bag, knocking the man off his bike, then kicked him in the groin and reclaimed her dog and her bag.

The man retaliated by hitting the woman in the head and escaping on his bike, police said.

Neither the woman nor her dog were injured.
