CHELSEA — A woman was assaulted by two men while riding an uptown A train last week, police said.
The 28-year-old woman was waiting for the northbound A train at the Fulton Street Station when she got into an argument with the two men just before 10 p.m. on Feb. 21, police said. The men began to film her with their phones, and she began to film them back, according to police.
"What the f--- are you looking at, white b----?" one of the men shouted, according to police.
The men slapped the woman's iPhone out of her hands, and it landed on the track, police said. The woman then chased the men into an uptown A train, where the pair began to punch and scratch her, police said.
When their train arrived at 14th Street station, the pair fled to an uptown C train, according to officials. About 30 minutes later, the woman returned to the Fulton Street station in the hopes of recovering her phone, but it was gone, police said.
Police are looking for the two suspects, who were both described by the victim as wearing women's clothing and standing about 5 foot 9, with long black braided hair. One of the attackers was wearing jeans and a yellow waist-length jacket, police said.
