A madman randomly whacked a woman with a hockey stick on a Manhattan street last Tuesday in the latest unprovoked attack targeting New York City women.


The 26-year-old victim was walking along East 6th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A in the East Village at around 10:30 p.m. when the man ran up and hit her in the leg with the hockey stick without any warning, police said.


The woman was treated by paramedics at the scene, cops said.

The assault comes after several women reported being randomly punched in the face by male strangers while walking in the Big Apple last month.


Most of the unprovoked, single-punch assaults occurred in Manhattan and targeted women in their 20s.


Several women recounted the traumatic attacks and showed the bruises or bumps on their faces in videos posted to TikTok and Instagram — which led even more victims to come forward and share similar experiences in NYC.

The suspect hit the 26-year-old victim while they were walking along East 6th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A at around 10:30 p.m. DCPI
At least two men have been arrested for two separate attacks and police believe that there are different suspects responsible for each assault despite the similarities between them all.


One of the victims, a 33-year-old marketing professional from FiDi, told The Post that she feels “unsafe” knowing her attacker is still out there in an interview earlier this month.


“I think he was really kind of intentional with his actions,” Stephanie Weng, 33, said of the man who socked her in the face near Union Square on March 20. “And it just was just like, super traumatizing and like very, very scary when it did happen. It’s really kind of hard for me to talk about.”


The NYPD is asking anyone who recognizes the man in the hockey stick assault to call its Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
