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.”

Don't go out on NYC streets at night. Don't go out on NYC streets during the day.

If you go out on the streets today, you're sure of a big surprise;
If you go out on the streets today, you'd better go in disguise.
For every thug that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the urban thugs have their picnic.
