A violent creep attacked a 72-year-old woman at a Midtown subway station Wednesday morning, police said.
The unidentified suspect ran up the victim as she was walking out of the East 59 Street N station at about 8 a.m. and socked her in the head, cops said.
The woman fell to the ground as a result of the blow, causing her to scrape her knees, authorities said.
First responders rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for bruising above her right eye and on her body, cops said.
The suspect was last seen wearing a dark-colored sweater, Adidas track pants and bright-colored sneakers, police said.
He is still at large.
