Woman, 20, fights off would-be rapist in latest subway terror after creep punches her in face: cops

A 20-year-old woman fought off a creep who punched her in the face and tried to rape her on a Queens subway platform as a security guard intervened in the disturbing attack, authorities said. 

The brute followed the woman off an F train that had just pulled into the 169th Street station in Jamaica around 12:10 a.m. Saturday, police said.

Once inside the mezzanine, the man punched her in the face multiple times as she fell to the ground and covered her head to try to block the barrage, cops said.

The victim struggled to fend off the attack and yelled loudly, catching the attention of a security guard in the station, police said.

The guard “intervened” and the assailant ran out of the station toward 168th Place, authorities said although specifics on if the guard tangled with the suspect weren’t immediately available.

The victim was taken to a local hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. 

The suspect – who had not been caught by Thursday – is described as 5-foot-10, last seen wearing a white tank top, light blue hooded sweatshirt, black pants, and orange and white sneakers.

Anyone with information on the disturbing crime is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
