NEW YORK -- A 57-year-old woman was pummeled in the head by a hammer-wielding suspect in a brutal robbery as she walked into a New York city subway station.Rothschild, who lives nearby, was entering the Queens Plaza station when the suspect came up on her from behind just after 11:20 p.m. Thursday.Rothschild suffered a fractured skull and lacerations to the head and is in critical condition at New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Cornell.
Her brother, Gerson Rothschild, who is also a scientist in Upper Manhattan at Columbia, says he spoke with her Friday morning and she is recovering from surgery. Gerson Rothschild says he and his sister are lifelong New Yorkers and that he is confident an arrest will be made.Mayor Eric Adams said he is"really angry" that a city employee was attacked while walking to the subway.
"A woman taking the train should not be struck in the head with a hammer, repeatedly," Adams said."And for us to believe that dangerous people like that, in some corners, that we need to say because they are in pain, they should inflict pain. I don't subscribe to that. we need to catch him. He needs to be incarcerated."
