Chaotic video released Friday shows a man attacking a woman with an expandable baton as she fights another woman on a Queens street in a brawl that ended in a robbery.
The mayhem unfolded back on July 12, but police just released the video as they search for the man and woman seen assaulting the 21-year-old victim outside a tattoo shop in Flushing.
It appears some sort of confrontation inside the tattoo shop around 7 p.m. spilled outside.
Video shows the two women scuffling on the sidewalk before the man arrives with the baton and joins the fray, beating the victim mid-fight in broad daylight.
Police said the man repeatedly struck the victim in the head and legs with the weapon during the skirmish.
He and the other woman then stole the victim's bag and fled the area, police said. The pair were last seen headed westbound on 37th Avenue in a black BMW sedan.
The victim suffered large lacerations to her head and was transported by EMS in stable condition to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
