Police are looking for two suspects who attacked an L train conductor last month in the 75th Precinct, which covers East New York.
According to the NYPD, at about 2:40 p.m. on February 25th, the female conductor, 49, was "traveling in the middle of a southbound L train with her head out the window doing safety checks when Suspect #1 punched her in the back of the head. When the train's motorman stopped the train in reaction to the assault, the victim was struck again by Suspect #2 in the back of the head."
The conductor was taken to a hospital to be treated for a minor injuries. Police describe the suspects as two males, about 16 years old, and released surveillance photos.
