BRONX - A woman was punched in the head by a deranged passenger on a Bronx bus during a random attack, cops said. 



At around 6:41 pm on April 22, a 54-year-old woman was riding aboard the BX39 bus on White Plains Road in Ollinville. A woman walked up to her and, without saying, a word punched her in the head. The attacker then calmly exited the bus at East 219th Street. 



The victim was taken to Montefiore Medical Center where she was listed in stable condition. 



No motive has been determined so far as to the reason for the attack or why the victim was targeted. 



The NYPD released surveillance video from inside the bus. The suspect is described as a female with a medium complexion. She was last seen wearing a dark blue snorkel jacket with a fur collar and carrying a red handbag.


Anyone with information in regard to this incident 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 CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls are strictly confidential.
