Woman Turns Skateboard Into A Weapon In Bizarre Flushing Attack

FLUSHING, QUEENS -- Police are searching for a perp who allegedly slammed her skateboard into an unsuspecting woman's head in a bizarre Flushing attack.

The 39-year-old woman was getting out of her car near 58th Road and 146th Street on the evening of Aug. 29 when the stranger walked up to her and whacked her in the face with the skateboard, cops said.

The woman then managed to snap photos of the perp, who pulled out a knife and began to wave it around threateningly before running away toward Kissena Park, authorities said.

The victim was treated at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Queens for cuts to her face and swelling to her left eye.

Police described the suspect as a heavyset woman with black and blonde curly hair. She was last seen wearing a black T-shirt and leggings.

Anyone with information on the assault is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
