NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A woman with an umbrella attacked an MTA employee at a subway station in Brooklyn this week, leaving the victim hospitalized in the latest assault on a city transit worker.
Surveillance video released by the NYPD on Wednesday shows the suspect sneaking under a turnstile at the Myrtle–Wyckoff Avenues station in Bushwick on Sunday night.
According to police, the 53-year-old victim was on duty at the station around 9:30 p.m. when she was attacked by the umbrella-wielding suspect.
The suspect used the umbrella to whack the victim over the head multiple times, police said.
EMS transported the victim to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where she was in stable condition.
The attack happened just a few days after a man slapped an MTA conductor so hard that his glasses flew off his face and onto the tracks at a station in Queens.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
