Cops are searching for a man suspected of punching a woman in the face at a Q train stop last Thursday during morning rush hour.

At 8:00am on November 10, the suspect repeatedly punched a 34-year-old woman in the face on a stairwell inside the Q station at Avenue M, according to police reports. The assault happened one block from Edward R. Murrow High School. The victim was left with a swollen face and a bloody hand but refused medical attention.

The suspect is described by police as a man with light skin, 25- to 30-years-old, approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall and 130 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, a gray baseball cap, blue jeans, and white sneakers.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the [Crime stoppers website](http://www.nypdcrimestoppers.com/?ref=bklyner.com) or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

This wasn’t the first Q train incident we reported this year; in September[ a 55-year-old woman was pushed down the stairs at Newkirk Plaza](/blog/crime/cops-search-q-train-assault-suspect/), and in April [thieves snatched phones from two women’s hands near the Cortelyou Road and Prospect Park stops](/blog/crime/two-phone-thefts-drama-along-bq-subway-line-yesterday/) respectively.
