The New York Police Department put out a call on Wednesday for help in identifying a suspect who slapped a 71-year-old woman last month on the Upper West Side.
Around 6:30 p.m. on April 2, the woman was walking near Central Park West and West 100th Street when another woman walked up to her and slapped her in the face for no clear reason, police said.
The victim sustained minor injuries with pain and swelling in the face, but refused medical attention at the scene, according to police.
NYPD released a photo Wednesday of the woman wanted in connection with the attack.
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).
