NEW YORK CITY, NY – A 16-year-old female was arrested on Tuesday, around 9:45 am.

The arrest follows a reported assault that took place on Thursday, August 3, around 8:00 pm.

A 51-year-old female, while aboard a southbound “F” train at West 4th Street subway station, was involved in an altercation with three unknown female individuals.

One of them used an anti-ethnic slur, dragged the victim by her hair, and struck her repeatedly.

The culprits then fled. The victim sustained head injuries. The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is now handling the investigation.
