A mugger pummeled a 43-year-old woman before snatching her glasses and cellphone inside a Brooklyn train station, cops said.
The straphanger was standing on the platform at the Avenue I station in Midwood around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when a man approached her with a knife and repeatedly punched her in an unprovoked attack, authorities said.
He also grabbed her glasses and her cellphone, which fell to the ground during the senseless beating, police said.
