NEW YORK — Police are searching for a man they say approached a 39-year-old woman on the Queens subway over the weekend and punched her in the face, breaking her jaw.
It was unclear what sparked the attack aboard the southbound 7 train near the Hunters Point Avenue station around 2 a.m. Sunday.
Police did not describe any exchanges between the two before the attack.
The suspect fled while the victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Police released a photo of him (above).
Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
