The NYPD<\/a> is searching for an unidentified perpetrator who landed a 37-year-old subway conductor in the hospital after punching him in the face aboard a Queens<\/a> A train early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n Cops say that around 1:33 a.m. on Jan. 15, officers from the 101st Precinct<\/a> and Transit District 23 responded to a 911 call reporting an assault on the conductor. The incident occurred while a Manhattan-bound A train was pulling into the Beach 25th Street station in Far Rockaway.<\/p>\n According to police, the victim reported being approached by the unidentified perpetrator, who then punched him in the face, causing him to hit his head on the train cabin wall.\n<\/p>\n EMS personnel rushed the victim to St. John\u2019s Episcopal Hospital, where he was in stable condition.\n<\/p>\n Police are still searching for the perpetrator, who they only described as wearing a black coat. They have yet to make an arrest and continue to investigate.\n<\/p>\n The MTA<\/a> did not immediately offer comment on the incident. Ellen Moynihan, a spokesperson for the Transport Workers Union Local 100<\/a>, stated that they are investigating the incident.<\/p>\n The NYPD classifies the infraction as a felony assault, a crime category that is up 112.5%<\/a> in the 101st Precinct through Jan. 11 compared to the same period last year. There have been 17 felony assaults in the precinct so far this year.<\/p>\n Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD\u2019s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
