The Queens mom savagely beaten by a ranting homeless man at a Howard Beach subway station confirmed for the first time that she will lose her eye because of the attack.
“I’m going to be blind in my right eye now,” said Elizabeth Gomes. “The nerve system is completely damaged and the eye is just deflating.”
Gomes, 33, said she is scheduled to meet with a specialist at New York Eye & Ear Infirmary on Feb. 13 to learn the next steps in getting a prosthetic eye.
“I mean honestly, I still wake up everyday and I still can’t believe it. I still think to myself ‘Wow I lost my vision at 33 years of age while I was just going to work. How can my life ever be the same,’ ” Gomes said.
Her life tragically changed shortly after 5 a.m. Sept. 20 as she got off the subway at the Howard Beach A train station on her way to her security guard job at Kennedy Airport.
A man who had been ranting about the devil hit her over the head with a bottle and then chased her before throwing her into the side of a token booth and then repeatedly pummeling and stomping on her.
Waheed Foster, 42, was indicted in September on attempted murder and assault charges.
Foster, who killed his own grandmother when he was 14, had been arrested weeks earlier for violating parole in another case, but was let go thanks to state reform laws.
Gomes has been unable to return to work and still fears being around groups of people. She lives with her mother and fiancee, Clement Tucker, and their 3-year-old son. She has two other children, ages 10 and 12, and Tucker has two. ***

And, God help you if you try to defend yourself.
I seem to remember something about “an eye for an eye”. Not expecting that to happen, though.
Some day somebody who’s been set free by a Maoist DA (like the one in NYC) when he should be behind bars will kill or maim some well known Rat Party politician.Of course when that happens it will be Trump’s fault.
I know I will defend myself and my family knowing full well the government at all levels will target me for reprisal.
I would want him dead . . . not in jail . . . . dead.
Did the guy in red in the photo come over to help her or did he just stand back and watch????
Savages have no place in a free society.
I said it before ans I will say it again. It is time for all decent people to leave these hell holes. If you stay, you will be a dead people. It is just a matter of time.
Exactly...Ever since LBJ started welfare for single parent families, it has gone downhill fast...

70-100 years ago, what did we do with such people?
There have always been madmen and bums around, and we’ve always had prisons and mental hospitals. But why did my parents and grandparents never have to deal with such things?
I wasn’t alive at the time, but in large part, I believe that unwritten social rules and social cohesion were strict enough so that even a madman unconsciously understood the climate and likely consequences, so they automatically moderated their behavior.
It’s the world our government wants us to live in.
Did the person taking the video do anything but watch?
The usual suspect.
The usual suspect.
Because that woman lost a vital organ that can’t be transplanted, this guy should donate an organ to society. A kidney, for example. Maybe two.
Heard about another subway shoving yesterday, this one wasn't so lucky to "only" lose an eye:
