The victim refused medical attention at the scene for minor injuries. 

The authorities shared video footage of the suspect who is still on the loose. The suspect is described as a man with a medium skin tone and dreadlocks. He was last spotted wearing a gray rain jacket, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

The attack came weeks after another attacker pummeled a stranger in the city’s transit system.

Aurore Gonzalez, aged 73, was on an E train heading south towards the Fifth Avenue-53rd Street station on May 1 when Marie McWilliams, 36, allegedly assaulted her multiple times. The victim and the police confirmed that the assault left Gonzalez with bruises that are still visible a month later.

McWilliams was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday and granted supervised release by Judge Marva Brown, over prosecutors’ request for $10,000 cash bail or $30,000 bond.

Meanwhile, data released Tuesday revealed that crime in the city’s transit system dropped by 5.6% so far this year, as of May 31 – with 186 incidents reported compared to 197 during the same period in 2024.
