QUEENS - It was a bad weekend for NY baseball fans and the season has not even started. Subway riders were attacked at subway stations for Citi Field and Yankee Stadium - a Queens woman was robbed and a Bronx rider was viciously beaten, cops said.
At around 9 pm on March 8, a 38-year-old woman was on the platform at the Willets Point-Shea Stadium subway station. As she waited for the southbound 7 Train, two men approached.
Cops said the attackers forcibly removed the woman’s cellphone from her hands knocking her to the ground. The robbers then ran out of the station in an unknown direction.
The woman suffered a laceration to the face but refused medical attention at the scene.
Two days later another woman was attacked across town near Yankee Stadium.
At around 6 pm, a 36-year-old women was on a northbound D Train approaching the 161 Street-Yankee Stadium subway station. Cops said a man walked up to the woman and without saying a word began punching her repeatedly in the face.
When the train stopped and the doors opened, the attacker ran out of the train and then out of the station near Yankee Stadium, cops said.
The victim refused medical treatment at the scene.
The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect who is described as a bald man with a light complexion. He has a mustache and goatee and a medium build. He was last seen wearing a dark windbreaker jacket and a white shirt underneath.
