According to police, the incident occurred on March 6, around 1:40 p.m., at the Delancey Street station with the suspect and the victim getting into an argument that quickly escalated, PIX11 News reported.
During the dispute, the assailant reportedly struck the older woman multiple times in the face causing her bruising and swelling, she fled the scene before authorities arrived, and authorities are now seeking the public's assistance in locating the suspect.
