Police reported that on Tuesday, July 5, at approximately 10 a.m., an unknown male approached a 62-year-old female inside of the Parsons Boulevard and Archer Avenue subway station and proceeded to head-butt her. The victim was able to flee on foot eastbound on Jamaica Avenue and was transported by EMS to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital with injuries to her head.
