The pair got into an argument that escalated when the perpetrator punched the 64-year-old in the face.<\/p>\n<p>Things didn\u2019t end there, however; cops said the culprit then followed her onto the platform and struck her several more times. The assailant then fled the scene on the 5 train.<\/p>\n<p>The incident was reported to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypd19pct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">19th Precinct<\/a> and NYPD Transit District 4. Cops said the victim suffered a laceration to her right eye, but refused medical attention on scene. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the perpetrator was last seen wearing a blue sweatshirt with stars and the number 76 on the front, and black pants.\n<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information regarding the suspect\u2019s whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA).
