LONG ISLAND CITY — Police have released video of a man and woman who pummeled a woman inside Queens Plaza subway station on Christmas Eve.

The suspects kicked, pushed and shoved the 51-year-old woman at the platform for the E train about 3:20 p.m., police said.

The female suspect is also accused of striking the victim in the face with her purse, causing bruising and swelling, the NYPD said.

The victim did not know her attackers and they didn't take anything from her, a police spokesman said. It appeared to be an unprovoked attack, the spokesman said.

The pair were caught walking through a subway emergency exit. The woman, who has dark hair, was last seen wearing a black jacket and purple scarf and the man was last seen wearing a dark jacket with a lighter stripe across the chest.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
