MIDTOWN — Police are on the lookout for a man who pushed a woman to the ground in an early-morning attack in a Midtown subway station, according to a police report.

The victim, a 45-year-old woman, was waiting for a 7 train at Grand Central Terminal on Jan. 17 at 5:40 a.m. when the suspect tripped her and pushed her to the ground, according to police.

Police did not say why they waited nearly a month to alert the public in this incident, but said they sometimes "try to exhaust other investigative means before we turn to the public."

The victim fell on her face, injuring her knees, hands, and nose, police said.

The suspect is described as a man in his mid-50s, standing about 5-foot-8-inches and weighing about 200 pounds, according to a police report. He was last seen wearing a work jacket, dark pants, and a red baseball cap, police said.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit tips on the website.
