The incident happened after the victim got off the subway.
As I was going up the escalator, a strange man pushed me past.
The woman then protested, saying, “You should have said excuse me.”
Hearing this, the man suddenly turned back and kicked the woman’s chest strongly.
The woman was beaten defenseless and fell down the escalator.

The woman suffered multiple injuries, including her legs and arms.
The escalator was pointed and sharp, so he complained of pain as if he had been attacked by a wild beast.
The psychological impact is also great.

The victim in her 30s did not reveal her name and face as if she was afraid of retaliation.
New York Police have been looking for a suspect for the sixth day after releasing CCTV footage.
