The Queens woman allegedly beaten by a homeless ex-convict may lose sight in one eye, and lamented that New Yorkers have tried to avoid becoming targets of violence.
“Elizabeth Gomes, 33, was dragged across the Howard Beach-JFK Airport station last Tuesday morning before being repeatedly kicked and punched in the face by Waheed Foster, a 41-year-old vagrant on parole who previously beat his grandmother to death, according to police,” the New York Post reported Tuesday.
She was headed to Kennedy Airport where she works as a security guard and trying to avoid the suspect who was apparently talking about the devil and other random things, according to Gomes.
She told the Post that as a New Yorker her family heard about such incidents on a regular basis and tried to avoid being caught up in one themselves.
