Woman attacked with human feces to face, head while waiting for NYC subway at rush hour, authorities say

Police are looking for a man who smeared human feces on the face and back of the head of a 43-year-old woman who was sitting on a subway station bench on a Bronx platform during the evening rush last week, authorities say.

The woman was sitting on the bench on the southbound platform at the East 241st Street station around 5:15 p.m. last Monday when the stranger attacked her. Police released video that shows the man holding what appears to be a black plastic bag as he approaches the woman. He then mashes the hand holding the bag into her face. Then he ran off.

It didn't appear any words were exchanged prior to the attack. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. It's the latest disturbing crime to happen in the subway system since the city and state jointly rolled out a new safety plan less than two weeks ago. One of the more brutal recent cases involved a hammer attack on subway stairs that left a New York City health department employee in critical condition.
