The attack happened just before 3:30 a.m. Friday when the woman was walking at
the West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue station, NYPD officials told The Post.

The shocking, two-minute video shows the unidentified male lunging at the woman
with an umbrella and the woman trying to fight him off with her cane.

The suspect is able to grab the woman’s cane as she falls to the ground
screaming.

The man then strikes the woman with her own cane more than 50 times in the head,
stomach, leg, arms, back and hands so hard that the wooden implement falls
apart.

The woman, who is on her back by that point, manages to grab what is left of her
cane away from the deranged man, who then starts pummeling her head with his
fist.

In the shocking video, the man continues to throw punches and yell at the
stunned woman while his own pants start to fall down with the effort.

The woman remains motionless on the ground for a few seconds until the suspect
kicks her several more times before the video cuts off.

The NYPD responded to the 911 call of an assault at about 3:30 a.m., sources
told The Post, but during the video of the beating, no MTA workers, police or
subway riders intervened.

NYPD sources also told The Post the 60-year-old woman did not know the suspect.

The woman was seen screaming at the man, who was able to wrestle the cane out of
her hands.X ( fka Twitter)

She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she is thought to be in stable
condition.

The unidentified suspect fled before police arrived. It is unclear how the
argument between the two began.

What do you think? Post a comment.

There were no reports of an arrest Monday night and the investigation is
ongoing, NYPD officials said.

Violent incidents on the New York subway continue, with a train operator beaten
by an unhinged pipe-wielding man and another straphanger stabbed by a stranger
in separate attacks over the last weekend in August.
