The New York Police Department are searching for a man who allegedly kicked a woman down a subway station escalator after she confronted him for shoving into her.
Surveillance cameras captured the moment when the man turned to the 32-year-old woman after pushing past her, and appeared to strike her
in the chest, causing her to fall to the bottom of the escalator.
The NYPD said the altercation took place at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Centre Station in Brooklyn around 7.15pm on Thursday.
According to the Daily News, the woman told her attacker to "say excuse me" as he moved past her. He responded "I did" before appearing to kick her in the chest.
Police say the woman suffered cuts and bruises to her back, arms, legs, right knee and right thigh and trauma to her left ankle, but she refused medical attention at the scene.
