Attacker hits woman, 62, with box cutter handle after dispute over graffiti: NYPD

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- An attacker struck a 62-year-old woman in the arm with a box cutter handle after she chastised him and his accomplices for graffitiing outside a home in Brooklyn earlier this month, the NYPD said.

The woman got into an argument with the trio after she spotted them making graffiti in front of a townhouse on Linden Street, near Broadway, in Bushwick around 3:30 p.m. on March 7, police said.

After the woman walked away from the trio, one of them hit her left forearm with the handle of a closed box cutter, the NYPD said.

The trio fled the scene on foot towards Bushwick Avenue after the altercation, police said.

The attack left the woman with "pain and discomfort" to her arm, but she refused medical attention at the scene, the NYPD said.

Police are now searching for the person who hit the woman, as well as the two people who were with him.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
