NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 13-year-old boy was punched in the face while riding the L train in Brooklyn in a random attack and police are searching for the man responsible.
The assault happened on March 16 around 3:40 p.m. when the victim was on a southbound L train at the Halsey Street station, police said.

After the random attack, the suspect fled the train car and got back on the same train a few wagons away before fleeing elsewhere, cops said.
The suspect is described as having a medium skin complexion, approximately in his 30's, 6'2" tall, thin build and last seen wearing a beige sweatshirt, blue jeans and white and orange sneakers.
