BRONX - An MTA conductor was struck in the head with a  glass bottle in the Bronx, cops said. The NYPD just released surveillance video of the suspect who was last seen wearing a bright orange track suit. 



At around 11:35 am a 38-year-old female train conductor was riding a southbound Number 4 train. When the train pulled into the 167th Street station in Mount Eden, the conductor had her head out the window of the car to monitor the train and the passengers boarding and exiting. Suddenly a male dressed in a bright orange track suit struck the MTA conductor in the face with a glass bottle. 


The attacker then fled the station. His image was caught on camera when he exited the turnstiles. 


The conductor was taken to nearby Lincoln Hospital where she was treated and is listed in stable condition. Cops are investigating the unprovoked assault as another random attack.
