The ex-convict who allegedly beat a 60-year-old woman with a cane in a Harlem subway station was cut loose by cops after the heinous caught-on-camera assault — and the officers’ response is now under investigation, The Post has learned.
In the now-viral recording, the hulking suspect — publicly identified by cops Tuesday as 43-year-old Norton Blake —bashed Laurell Reynolds, 60, scores of times on her head, stomach, leg, arms, back and hands as she fell to the ground inside the West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue station at about 3:30 a.m. on Friday.
“They should’ve arrested him!” Reynolds, who is disabled and uses a walker and does not work, told The Post in a bedside interview.
“I don’t deserve that. Not at all, not at all … and I pray to God that it doesn’t happen to no one else,” she added. “They need to keep that man off the street.”

New York, New York, a helluva town
The Bronx is up, but the Battery’s down
The people get pummeled in a hole in the groun’
New York, New York, it’s a helluva town!
Go ahead
Bite the Big Apple
Don’t mind the maggots
Or to, as Al Sharpton admitted a while back, to pave the way for national police force, which will operate like Biden’s FBI.
Between bail reform and Soros’ DAs like Alvin Bragg, the cops probably figured that there was no chance this monster was going to serve any time.
Was it the cops who let him walk or the prosecutor. I have been watching some “Cops” type shows on youtube recently. Some loud mouth felon will be arrested with a gun, will assault the cops, fight the cops, run from the cops, wreck cars while drunk, and at the end of the show it shows the prosecutors dismissed most charges and leave a misdemeanor with a small fine and probation. Every single one I saw, when a black perp, the “felony assault on police officer” was dropped by the prosecutor. If you’re a cop, why bother risking life and limb when the DAs will just drop the charges?
It seems the cops go out of their way to alienate the last group of people who support them. Patriotic Americans want that guy in prison and the cops apparently brush him off and send him on his way, threaten to arrest that poor woman.
Oh, I didn't watch the video, I googled the perp's name and found a mug shot that I thought was him. If he's not black then this is truly baffling (that he was not arrested.)
Wow. My first thought when reading your comment about taking your family to visit NYC and taking a family ride on the NYC subway was “Death Wish”? My next thought was “Oh, yeah. That’s the title of one of my dad’s favorite movies back in the 1970s.” Charles Bronson made several of those movies and I know my dad probably saw each when first out and would watch again if on television.
Are we looking at the same photo?
