VIDEO: Subway Preacher Bloodied In High-Heel Attack

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — An elderly man preaching from the bible and singing gospel songs on a New York City train was bloodied when a furious passenger hit him over the head with a pair of high heels, according to video posted on social media and reports.

The subway attack occurred on the morning of Oct. 25 on a 2 train traveling through Midtown Manhattan, the New York Post reported. The victim, a 79-year-old man, suffered a deep cut during the attack and was stitched up at NYU Langone hospital, according to the report.

Dramatic video posted to social media shows the moments leading up to the attack. A woman approaches the preacher and begins screaming at the man to stop. When he refuses to do so, the woman, who was already holding a stiletto in her hand, drives her shoe into the man's head.

"F*** your mother, f*** your bible and f*** everything else," the woman screams at the preacher before the attack. "You better get the f*** out of my mother-f****** face before I bust your head open," the woman added a few seconds later.

Subway riders initially ignored the confrontation, but jumped in to help the man after things turned violent, according to the videos posted on Instagram. A second video shows passengers attempting to treat the man, whose face and shirt are covered in blood streaming from his forehead.

The Instagram user who posted the videos wrote that the man did not start the confrontation.

"This old man right here was just singing some gospel songs and sharing the word of God to people on the train, he didn’t say anything to hurt anyone, he wasn’t even loud," a caption on one of the videos reads.

The woman avoided arrest and is wanted by the police, the Post reported.
