WILLIAMSBURG — An L train rider shoved a 54-year-old woman against a pole and then threw her to the floor of the subway car, police said.
The incident began after the man hit a child while on the northbound train at the Lorimer Street station last Saturday between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., police said.
The suspect then grabbed the woman by her arm and the back of her shirt and shoved her into the pole twice, causing her to strike her mouth, police said. He threw the woman backwards and she struck her head on the floor, causing a bump, police said.
It was unclear what provoked the attack, police said.
Investigators continue to search for the suspect, who fled onto the platform toward the closed end of the station, police said.
Other notable crimes that occurred recently in the 94th Precinct include:
