The woman is in critical condition with a fractured skull.
The attack took place at the Queens Plaza subway station in Queens just after 11:20 p.m. Thursday, according to the New York Police Department.

The man kicks her twice from behind, but she clutches the railing and remains upright.
At this point, the violent criminal pulls out a hammer and repeatedly hits her in the head with it.
The attacker steals her purse and calmly walks away, leaving her close to death.
“The suspect was wearing a black coat with hood up and blue jeans. He was also wearing a black face mask, black shoes and blue jeans,” Fox News reports. “Police are asking anyone with information regarding the attack to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).”
There is a $3,500 reward for information leading to the thug’s arrest.
