The previous head of New York City Transit became the latest victim in the city's growing list of random attacks when a stranger sucker punched the woman last week, police said.
According to the NYPD, the unprovoked assault occurred the afternoon of Oct. 20, at the intersection of Avenue of the Americas and West 21st Street, near a PATH station stop.
Waiting to cross the street, Sarah Feinberg was approached by an unknown man who delivered a blow to her head. Her injuries were described as minor and the former transit head refused medical attention, officials said.
Police have been looking for the perp since he ran off.

These are just some of the cases that have New Yorkers on edge in recent weeks, despite assurances from the mayor and governor that subways are safe.
