Talk about a terrifying morning for an elderly woman in Moline.

"Someone came up behind me and said I want your money and I turned around and he had a knife," said 73 year old Paula Clark who was held up outside her apartment in the 1700 block of 53rd Avenue.

Clark says the masked man grabbed her and demanded money.

As he walked her toward her home to get the cash, she managed to get away from him, slam the door in face and yell for help.

"I'm trying to hold it while I'm screaming for my husband, and it must have scared him."

The man took off without hurting Clark, and now police are trying to figure out who he is.

If you have any information, you're asked to call the Moline Police Department.
