A man randomly punched two women Tuesday night on the Upper West Side, according to police.
Around 8:20 p.m., near West 60th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, a man walked up to a 31-year-old woman and punched her in the face with a closed fist, knocking her to the ground, police said. A minute later, he approached a 27-year-old woman and also punched her in the face, cutting her nose, NYPD added.
The 31-year-old woman sustained minor injuries but was not hospitalized, and the 27-year-old woman was treated by medics at the scene, police said.
NYPD provided no motive for the attacks.
The man ran away traveling eastbound on West 60th Street toward Amsterdam Avenue, police said.
NYPD released photos on Wednesday night of the suspect.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Glad no one was seriously hurt. Hopefully the NYPD will pull their best detectives off the snowball investigation and catch the suspect.
the police are powerless to clean up the streets as long as there is no prosecutions. the Manhattan DA’s office downgrades charges and releases the people who are doing things like this.
I’m preemptively writing the first of what will surely be dozens of anti-Mamdani comments. With a sprinkle of Alvin Bragg and scooters and “transplants” for good measure.
until the marxist running the DA office starts prosecuting people who are the problem these types of incidents will continue.
