Thugs with baseball bats attacked a 58-year-old woman Tuesday while she was walking in downtown Manhattan, the New York Post reported.
Two masked assailants armed with a baseball bat attacked a 58-year-old woman in broad daylight, as captured by surveillance footage. The assault occurred around 2 p.m. as the victim was walking engrossed in her cellphone, according to the New York Post. The video shows the first suspect running up from behind and striking the woman on the back of her head with a punch.
As she stumbled back against the wall of a nearby store, the second attacker began to hit her repeatedly with a black baseball bat, while his accomplice attempted to snatch her purse, the outlet reported.
Despite their violent efforts, the attackers fled the scene without the woman’s belongings. The victim was subsequently transported to New York Downtown Hospital, where she was treated for bruising on her left leg and swelling on the back of her head.Â
