Police are searching for a suspect after a 90-year-old woman was attacked while walking along a Brooklyn sidewalk earlier this week, with surveillance video obtained by a local news station appearing to capture the violent encounter.

The assault happened around 9:47 a.m. Monday outside 501 Brighton Beach Ave. in the Brighton Beach neighborhood, according to the New York City Police Department (NYPD).

Police said the woman was walking when an unidentified man approached and threw a piece of furniture at her, causing her to fall to the ground before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction.

Surveillance video obtained by News 12 appears to show the suspect pushing what looks like a discarded baby crib filled with debris along the sidewalk before suddenly lifting it and throwing it at the elderly woman as she walks past. The impact knocks the woman to the pavement as the suspect appears to calmly continue walking away.

Emergency medical personnel responded to the scene and transported the woman to NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island, where she was listed in stable condition, police said.
