A Kincumber man has been charged after allegedly trying to snatch an elderly woman's handbag.

The 21-year-old was arrested on Kooronya Road at 10am yesterday, accused of knocking her to the ground attempting to steal her purse as she walked on Showground Road near Gosford Railway Station earlier this month.

Thankfully the 70-year-old wasn't hurt.

The man's been bailed to reappear in court next month.
