A callous commuter randomly shoved a 7-year-old boy in front of his mom and then flashed a knife at the two on a Queens subway platform last month, cops said.
The child and his mom were about to board a northbound F train that had pulled into the 21st Street-Queensbridge subway station around 12:40 p.m. Feb. 23 when a woman getting off the train pushed the boy in the face – causing him to fall to the ground, police said.
When the boy’s 37-year-old mom confronted the menace, the attacker defiantly shoved the youngster again, authorities said.
The crazed commuter then flashed a knife at both victims before running out of the station and hopping on a Q100 MTA bus, cops said.
The boy was treated at the scene by EMS for minor leg pain, and his mom was not hurt.
The attacker was still on the loose Thursday.
A video released by the NYPD late Wednesday shows the bespectacled woman with her hair pulled back in a bun passing through the subway turnstile.
Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, or on X @NYPDTips.
