The victim has been identified as Nina Rothschild by the woman's family. Rothschild is a scientist for the New York City Department of Health. She was attacked just 15 minutes after leaving from work, the police said. &nbsp;

On Thursday at 11 pm, the woman was attacked by a six-foot-tall male, who was wearing a dark jacket, blue jeans and holding a cane, Essig said. &nbsp;

"This is an unprovoked, brutal and appalling crime on a woman, who was just trying to get home after a day's work," Essig added. &nbsp;

After the attack, Rothschild was bleeding from brain and taken to Cornell Medical Center with a fractured skull and lacerations to her face, Essig said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

According to her brother Gerson Rothschild, she has had part of her skull replaced with wire mesh. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The woman also has a drop foot. It is a condition where the patient is unable to lift foot. It is unclear whether a nerve damage or a mental block has caused it, her brother said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

57-year-old woman gets hit in head with hammer several times at New York subway station

President Donald Trump has struggled to convince lawmakers the US needs a wall along its southern border. But in New York, police heeded his advice to catch a pro-Trump graffiti artist: yes, they built a wall.

Transit Chief Edward Delatorre told journalists Tuesday that officers put up the fake wall to catch the tagger spraying "<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/bolsonaro-compliments-trump-who-replies-brazil-could-join-nato-204420">#LoveTrump</a>" in a subway station in the city's Brooklyn borough.

The recurring message emblazoned on beams in the mezzanine of the station had sparked a slew of complaints since January from both passengers and transportation employees at the station, Delatorre said.

Officers plotted with New York's transit authority to put up a plywood wall with a door, which officers hid in for a plainclothes operation starting on March 12.

Three days later, the vandal took the bait. Police identified him as Jamie Montemarano, 43, and charged him for graffiti and criminal mischief.
