NYC LOCAL NEWS - An elderly woman was attacked in broad daylight off of Lexington Avenue, allegedly by a well-dressed woman. 

At around 3:20 pm on November 5, an 82-year-old woman was walking on E. 61st Street off of Lexington Avenue when she was approached by a young woman who was wearing an expensive looking brown leather jacket, gold necklace and $160 Marshal headphones. 

Without warning, the young woman grabbed the senior and threw her to the ground. 

The attacker then fled on foot.
