The daughter of a 60-year-old woman who was beaten with her own cane in a disturbing caught-on-camera assault in Harlem said she’s angry nobody came to help her defenseless mom — as cops identified her alleged attacker as a 43-year-old man with at least nine prior arrests.
Laurell Reynolds, 60, of the Bronx was walking through the West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue station at about 3:30 a.m. Friday when Norton Blake allegedly stripped her cane from her and beat her with it, according to NYPD officials and a disturbing two-minute-long recording of the crime.
Nobody stepped in to help Reynolds — even as the creep struck her so hard and so often that her wooden cane shattered.
“I’m hurt — it hurts,” her daughter, Lashanne Reese, 41, of the Bronx, told The Post on Tuesday. “That man could’ve killed my mother … You all did nothing. I have a problem with that.”

Welcome to the new America!
blame your liberal controlled government! the last time someone tried to help, NY charged them with murder! (the subway headlock guy)
One, who knows how that victim voted? Odds on bet she’s a democrat. Two, the last guy who intervened in New York is being prosecuted. It’s no fun being a white knight if it’s gonna get you 20 years in prison.
Welcome to anarchy-land.
Nor should Alvin Bragg be on the street. Unfortunately, the fools in Manhattan elected him to be their DA.
Shouldn’t be on the street huh?, that probably goes for 15 to 18 percent of the people who live in NYC.
Actually, that's what the police advise. Call the police, be a witness, but do not interfere.
Of course no help was offered!!
The marine who did the same a few months ago is charged with manslaughter.
In general, if the thug is ever hurt/killed, his family will sue in civil court.
NYC voted in AG’s and mayors who support crime and destruction of civilization. Stew in your cesspit.
This is exactly why voting for the rat party is a terrible idea.
They voted for this madness, they need to embrace it!
True.
If you interfere unarmed, you might get badly hurt, go to jail, and be sued by the perp.
If you interfere with a gun, you might get serious prison time, and be sued by the perp or his family.
Any citizen that would have interfered would have been criminally prosecuted for anything they can dream up for stopping this man from doing his job. Then they would be sued by the thug and lose again.
That’s the best he could have done without going to jail. Look at what happened to Daniel Penny.
Bingo!
Here's the reason why NOBODY helped.
Ask your prosecutors why a 9 time loser is on the street.
why do you think she was behind the glass???
Black on black? That’s a family affair.

Yes. Excellent post.
How can they have it both ways? Anti-cop review boards and leftist media insult, attack and charge cops in civil court.
The bystanders have even less chance of surviving the
backlash against them if they intervene.
