NYC SPIRALS: Man Viciously Beats 60-Year-Old Woman with Her Own Cane in Harlem Subway

Video went viral on social media Tuesday morning showing an attacker viciously beating an elderly woman with her own cane inside a NYC subway station.

From the NY POST:

Disturbing footage shows a man hitting a 60-year-old woman more than 50 times with her own cane in a Harlem subway station.

The attack happened just before 3:30 a.m. Friday when the woman was walking at the West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue station, NYPD officials told The Post.

The shocking, two-minute video shows the unidentified male lunging at the woman with an umbrella and the woman trying to fight him off with her cane. 

The suspect is able to grab the woman’s cane as she falls to the ground screaming. 

The man then strikes the woman with her own cane more than 50 times in the head, stomach, leg, arms, back and hands so hard that the wooden implement falls apart.
