A woman whose 2-year-old son was clubbed by a beggar in a Manhattan subway train described on Sunday how she pleaded for help during the attack – but “no one did anything.”

The 21-year-old mother – who asked to remain anonymous for fear of the assailant on the loose – said none of the other C-train belts came to her aid on Saturday when a beggar started hitting her baby. .
