Woman sucker punched in random attack after exiting subway in NYC

LOWER MANHATTAN, New York City (WABC) -- A woman was sucker punched in a seemingly random assault after exiting the subway in Lower Manhattan Wednesday.

It happened at the corner of Fulton and Nassau streets just before 5:30 p.m., after the 36-year-old victim said she got off the J train to pick up her son.

She reported noticing a group of teens messing around, and she said they approached her, sucker punched in the face, and continued to punch and kick her after she fell to the ground.
