BRONX - An elderly woman was smashed in the face repeatedly by a mugger as she was leaving a subway car in the Bronx.

At around 7:45 pm on September 16, a 66-year-old woman was exiting a subway car at the Fordham Road Station. Suddenly a man blocked her exit and punched her in the face repeatedly.

Cops say the attack was unprovoked.

As the woman fell to the ground, her attacker grabbed her purse and fled the station.

The victim was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital where she was treated. She is listed in serious but stable condition.
