In a shocking incident, violence erupted in a Harlem subway station as a man engaged in a brutal altercation with a vulnerable 60-year-old woman. He repeatedly struck her with her own cane, delivering over 50 blows.
Umbrella vs. Cane
According to video footage obtained by the Post, the unidentified male initially lunged at the woman with an umbrella, and she valiantly attempted to defend herself with her cane.
Disturbing Video Footage
A disturbing video, filmed by an employee of the Metro Transit Authority (MTA) from inside the ticket area, documented the moment when the man forcibly seized the woman’s cane.
Belt Rage
She had been using it as a shield against the man’s belt.
The situation escalated as he dragged her across the station, wrenching the cane from her grasp and causing her to fall to the ground.
Cane Shatters
The assailant used the cane to strike the woman, targeting her feet and then subjecting her to a sustained assault across her entire body for over a minute.
At one point, the cane shattered, yet the man persisted in assaulting the older woman with the broken fragment.
Brave Response
Eventually, the woman managed to wrestle the wooden object away from her attacker, forcibly taking it from his hands.
In response, he resorted to using his fists to continue the assault.
Woman’s Ordeal Continues
Subsequently, the woman curled into a fetal position on top of a pile of trash she had fallen into while the man continued shouting at her.
Family Feud?

Religious Undertones
