NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man punched and shoved a 69-year-old woman in a Queens road-rage attack caught on video, police said.
The woman was attacked at the intersection of 9th Street and 35th Avenue in Astoria on the afternoon of Oct. 1, according to police.
She had just gotten out of a vehicle—reportedly a cab—and was arguing with a man sitting in a car behind her, police said.
According to the Daily News, the man was angry the cab she was in was blocking his way.
The man got out of his vehicle and started punching and pushing the woman, causing her to fall to the ground, police said.
Video shows the man swinging at the woman several times before he shoves her to the ground. She lands on her back before getting up.
