Woman Attacks 75-Year-Old Man With Shoe on Subway in Times Square: Police

Authorities are looking for a woman they say attacked a 75-year-old man with her shoe after an argument on a Manhattan subway last month, leaving him with a head wound. 

Police say the woman, seen in a surveillance image in a white dress, got into an argument with the man on a southbound No. 2 train shortly before noon Aug. 19.

When the train pulled into the station at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue, police say the woman took off her shoe, smashed the victim on the head with it and ran off. The man went to a hospital to be treated for a head laceration. 

Anyone with information about the woman or attack is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. Tips can also be submitted online.
