New York Sh!tty Update- Man Punches Woman In The Face With Metal Object For No Apparent Reason, Might Be Thug's Second Victim

An unhinged man clobbered and cut a woman walking on Park Ave. on the Upper East Side in a harrowing caught-on-video assault — and investigators are trying to determine if the suspect committed a similar attack in Brooklyn, police said Saturday.

The victim, 37, was walking on Park Ave. near E. 81st St. about 6 a.m. on July 14 when the man attacked her without any provocation, cops said.

“He wanted to kill,” the victim told the Daily News about her attacker, asking her name not be used for fear of reprisal. “I’m very thankful my daughter still has a mom. I’m very thankful I’m still alive.”

As victim and suspect approached each other, they made eye contact but she quickly looked away, the victim said. But the suspect kept staring at her. Almost immediately, she felt she was in danger.

As the two passed each other, the suspect suddenly launched the haymaker, the video shows.

The attack was quick and silent, and the man said nothing to the woman when he threw the punch, cops said.

Just a second later, “I was gushing blood,” the woman said.

“I didn’t know from where, but I was losing a lot of blood,” she said. “At first, I thought he punched me. I just ran.”

The assailant also ran off. Moments later, a surveillance camera caught him calmly walking underneath construction scaffolding.

The woman suffered a deep cut to her head and was taken to a hospital. That’s when she was told that her attacker was armed.

“They told (me) it must have been some metal object,” she remembered EMTs informing her. “The gash was eight millimeters deep.”

Four staples were needed to close the wound. After the wound was closed, she was released from the hospital.

Two weeks later, the woman said, she remains in “horrible” pain and suffers from vertigo and nausea.
