A 23-year-old Asian woman was attacked with a cane on a Harlem subway platform in what is being probed as another possible bias attack, cops said Wednesday.
The incident unfolded around 6:45 a.m. May 12 after the woman got off the northbound 1 train at Broadway and West 116th Street in Morningside Heights, according to police.
As she walked across the platform, an unknown man started swinging his cane at her — hitting her in the head and hip — before he fled onto the northbound train, cops said.
The suspect got onto a train after the attack. DCPIShe refused medical attention.
It was unclear if any words were exchanged.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is looking into the attack.
