Manhattan
A female straphanger made the mistake of casting a disapproving look at a belligerent woman threatening and cursing out a toddler in a Financial District subway station Saturday morning.
As the train pulled into the Fulton Street station, the woman with the child stormed up to the passenger who gave her the glare and hit her on the right side of the head with a bottle — with which she’d been threatening to strike the child, police said.
The violent woman then fled on a train with the child.
She is around 20 to 25 years old and was last seen wearing a dark jacket and black pants, and carrying bags, police said.
The victim, 32, suffered a swelling to her head, but did not need hospitalization.
