Police from the 108th Precinct in Long Island City and Transit District 20 are looking for a man they believe carried out a brutal assault in the Queens Plaza subway station Tuesday evening.
A 47-year-old woman was waiting for the arrival of an E train just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 28, when she was approached by an unidentified man who punched her multiple times in the face, according to the NYPD.
The suspect fled on foot and the victim suffered a broken nose and multiple contusions on her face, police said.
EMS responded to the scene and transported the woman to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
