An Asian woman underwent brain surgery on Saturday after she and her son were dragged down the subway stairs during a bungled robbery in New York City.
The unnamed woman, 58, was with her 23-year-old son on Saturday.
They were walking up the steps at Canal Street station at around 10:45am when an assailant attacked them from behind, grabbing the son's backpack.
The son grabbed his mother as he fell, and the pair tumbled down the stairs.
He was not seriously hurt, but his mother hit her head and was critically injured.
The thief ran away, and surveillance footage showed a black man in a short-sleeved khaki shirt and white bandana around his neck leaving the station.
