Disturbing footage shows a man beating a 60-year-old woman more than 50 times with his own cane in a Harlem subway station.
The attack happened shortly before 3:30 a.m. Friday as the woman was walking through the station at West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue, NYPD officials told The Post.
The shocking two-minute video shows the unidentified man lunges at the woman with an umbrella and the woman tries to fight him off with her cane.
The suspect is able to grab the woman’s cane as she falls to the ground screaming.
The man then hits the woman with his own staff more than 50 times on the head, stomach, leg, arms, back and hands with such force that the wooden instrument falls apart.
The woman, who is on her back at the time, manages to grab what’s left of the cane away from the deranged man, who then begins to beat her on the head with his fist.
In the shocking video, the man continues to throw punches and scream at the stunned woman as his own pants begin to fall down with the effort.
The woman remains motionless on the ground for a few seconds until the suspect hits her several more times before the video cuts out.
