NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police say two Bronx bus riders beat a 67-year-old woman after she screamed and threatened them with her walking cane on Wednesday.

Warning: This video contains graphic content.


The New York Post reports that two women, got on the Bx1 bus at Grand Concourse and 161st Street at about 1 p.m. on Monday.

One of the women was pushing a stroller with her infant child inside and bumped the 67-year-old woman with a cane, causing a dispute between the three women to ensue. 

The women began to shout obscenities back and forth to each other and the 67-year-old woman then slammed her walking stick and challenged one of the other women to a fight.

The two women then confronted the 67-year-old, as one heads to the sidewalk and the second remains in the bus.

One woman grabs the cane and the second begins to strike the 67-year-old. 

The women recoup the stroller and walk away.

Police are searching for the attackers.

In a separate incident, the NYPD is searching for four teens who they say robbed a 67-year-old female in Jamaica, Queens after forcibly removing her cane as she was walking.

Police say the incident occurred on Sunday, August 4, at approximately seven p.m., in front of 87-06 169 Street.

The four teens are believed to be two males and two females and police released a video of the incident on Thursday.

Once the suspects were successful in taking her cane, police say they pushed the victim to the ground, took her Samsung cell phone from her hand and struck her with her cane, as she was on her knees.

The four teens then fled the scene in a late model Nissan Altima, officials say.

The victim refused medical attention at the scene.

Police urge anyone with information to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-8477.
