Four women were punched in the face on a Manhattan street by an apparently emotionally disturbed stranger yelling, “Leave me alone!” police said Thursday.
Cops released surveillance footage of the suspect and are asking the public’s help identifying him and tracking him down.
The women were walking in different directions and were not together when they were attacked near W. 122nd St. and Broadway in Morningside Heights about 7 p.m. Feb. 12, cops said.
Despite having no prior interactions with the victims, the attacker yelled “Leave me alone” before running off downtown on Broadway.
Three of the victims, ages 52, 35 and 24, did not require medical attention while a 35 woman was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
