The suspect wanted for the brutal assault on the subway of an elderly woman earlier this month is currently in police custody, the New York Police Department said Saturday. NYPD detective chief Dermot Shea said the woman had been treated successfully and discharged from the hospital. "Thank you to the world community for the tremendous assistance," Shea wrote. According to a viral video of the attack, the suspect randomly and viciously assaulted an elderly woman on the subway earlier this month. A video of the incident shows an unidentified man repeatedly striking a 78-year-old woman with a face. Several witnesses in the train filmed the attack on their phone. The reason the man targeted the elderly woman remains obscure, but before getting off the subway, we can hear tell the witnesses the event "WorldStar" – an apparent reference to the WorldStar website Hip Hop, where violent videos have become viral.
