This is the terrifying moment a white brute hits a 60-year-old woman 50 times with her own cane on the crime-ridden New York City subway.

The shocking attack, at 3am on Friday, showed the unidentified attacker beat down on his victim for two minutes at West 116 Street and Lenox Avenue station in Harlem.

He tries to first whack her with his umbrella as she attempts to ward him off with the cane.

But she falls to the ground and screams as he swipes the cane from her and begins the brutal beat down.

It is the latest viral video of an attack on New York City's subway system, with many in the Big Apple fearing for their life when they take to the network

The suspect can be seen hitting her with the cane on her head, stomach, legs, arms, hands and her back, eventually breaking the stick.

At no point were any transit staff or police around to either take notice or attempt to stop the brutal beating. 

Finally, she's able to grab a piece of the cane still in tact before the man begins to punch her head. 

The clearly unwell man continues to punch and scream at his victim even while pants begin to fall. 

Before the video stopped, the woman simply remained still on the ground while the man continued to kick her. 

According to police, officers arrived after getting the call at about 3:30 in the morning. 

The victim said she did not know her attacker, according to the New York Post. Police said the suspect fled the scene before they arrived.

She was eventually taken to a local hospital, where authorities said she is in stable condition.  

No one has been arrested and the investigation is still ongoing.   

Subway crime has been labeled one of the city's major crises and though statistics say transit offenses are down slightly, even progressive Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said last month he was afraid for his family when they road the subway.

'I know the statistics that transit crime is down, but when one of my family members gets on the train, I, too, get a knot in my stomach,' he told FOX 5 News when asked about the perception that the subway system is becoming increasingly unsafe.

'I live here, I'm raising my family here, so we have a lot more work to do,' he added.

Major crime decreased 9.9% in the subway system in July, according to the city's statistics.
