Cops this week were still searching for a woman wanted in connection with a bizarre assault involving footwear in an Ozone Park subway stop.
According to authorities, last Tuesday, Nov. 1, around 3 p.m., a 24-year-old woman was waiting on the northbound platform of the 88th Street and Boyd Avenue station when an older female took off her shoe and struck the younger woman on the head and left eye, and then fled the location in an unknown direction. The victim sustained a laceration to the left eye, cops said.
The suspect is described as a white woman, approximately 40 years old, 5-foot-7, 130 pounds, with brown eyes, brown-and-gray hair, and a medium complexion. She was last seen wearing a black leather jacket, blue jeans and black shoes.
