FORT GREENE — A young woman in an elevator at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center subway station used her baby stroller to attack a 69-year-old woman who tried to step inside, police said.
The older woman was trying to enter the elevator at the Q train platform of the station at roughly midnight Aug. 25 when the woman with the "big baby carriage" punched her in the face, then rolled over her foot with the stroller, police said.
