Man punches elderly woman as she walks into Queens subway station: Police

Police are looking for a man they say attacked a 74-year-old woman as she made her way into a Queens subway station earlier this month.

On May 1 at about 5:15 p.m. the victim was waking down the stairs of the 65th Street station when the suspect — described as a black man between 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall — got into her face as he walked up the stairs, according to authorities.

The man then allegedly punched the elderly woman in the head once and ran up the stairs onto the street, police said.

The victim was taken to Elmhurst General Hospital where she was treated and released.

Police have released a video of the suspect after the attack near the intersection of 69th Street and 38th Avenue. He was last seen wearing a red jacket and blue jeans.
