A woman violently robbed an 84-year-old man after forcing her way into his home.

The crook knocked on Pedro Retamal’s door and waited for him to get up from his chair to open it.

She immediately entered and closed the door behind her before the pair engaged in a brief conversation.

Just moments later, she began rummaging through the pockets of Pedro’s shirt.

He began to panic and shouted at the woman, but she ignored him and continued to become more aggressive.

The scary moment was caught on a CCTV which was installed in the living room of the home.

In the clip, they both begin to struggle as Pedro tries to fight the woman off.

She manages to push him away from the door and puts him in a headlock.

He continues to shout as the woman ransacks his pockets.

After grabbing what she wants, she is seen making her way to the front door.

But in a brave move, Pedro gets up and grabs her, pulling her back into the room.

He falls onto the sofa as the woman loses her balance and falls beside him.

Pedro does not give up and clings to the woman, pulling her back to prevent her from escaping with his belongings.

The woman then viciously slaps the man as he continues to grab her hair and kick out his legs towards her.

Both can be heard shouting as the woman keeps attacking the man before she eventually runs out the door.

Pedro sits up for a short time before resting himself on the floor against the sofa.

The robbery took place in Coronel, southwest of Santiago, Chile.

A woman, 31, has been arrested, as reported by Need To Know.

But it was later discovered that she had provided a false identity.

She is set to appear at the Coronel Guarantee Court.

Since the robbery, the mayor of Coronel, Boris Chamorro, has visited Pedro at his home.

The mayor confirmed that officials of the Victim Care Program will be accompanying him as he recovers from the incident.

He will also receive psychological support and a lawyer will be assisting him.
