Hard hat used as a weapon in hate-fueled argument
New York Daily NewsA seething straphanger beat a woman with a hard hat during a racist tirade in the Bronx early Tuesday, police said.
The raging rail rider got violent with the 34-year-old victim as their No. 2 train rumbled into the Pelham Parkway station about 4:15 a.m., cops said.
“F-----g Hispanics! Go back to your country,” the woman, who is black, allegedly screamed at the victim, who is Hispanic. “You come here to take our jobs!”
When the train stopped, the would-be construction worker, who appeared to be in her early 20s and sported red hair, knocked the older woman in the head with her hard hat several times and took off, authorities said.
