Woman Maces Subway Rider in Face, Then Jumps on Him and Beats Him Up: Police

A woman Maced a 45-year-old man in the face on a southbound L train in Brooklyn last month, then jumped on top of him and started pummeling him, leaving him with injuries to his neck, eyes and knee, authorities say. 

Police say the two, apparently strangers, started arguing on a train platform early in the morning on May 23 and the woman followed the man to the last car of the subway once they boarded. 

She attacked him as they approached Bedford Avenue, then fled the train once it stopped. Emergency personnel treated the victim's injuries at the scene. 

Police released a surveillance photo of a woman they say is wanted for questioning in the attack (above). Anyone with information about her is asked to call police.
