Police are looking for a woman who allegedly punched a subway rider in the head when he asked her to calm a screaming child who was with her.
The 65-year-old man was riding the A train in the area of the 207th Street station in Washington Heights Thursday afternoon when a woman boarded with a screaming child, according to police.
As the child continued to scream, the man asked the woman to have the child stop screaming.
The request apparently enraged the woman, who began cursing at the man and then punched him in the head, police said.
She got off the train with the child at 168th Street station and fled.
The victim refused medical attention at the scene.
The suspect is described as being in her mid-20s and about 5 feet 8 inches tall (see attached cellphone video released by police).
