MIDTOWN, Manhattan (PIX11) — Police are looking for a person who they say allegedly assaulted an MTA employee on the job just before 8 p.m. on Thursday.
The 55-year-old MTA worker was looking out of the conductor’s window of a No. 5 train while it was stopped at 42 Street-Grand Central Station, authorities say.
That’s when he was punched in the face by an unknown man, officials report.
The man ran off while the MTA worker was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, police say.
Authorities say they’re looking for a man who stands about 6 feet 2 inches tall with short black hair. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
