A WOMAN holding a cane was left with a broken leg after being hurled to the floor “by a shopper who was asked to put her mask on properly.”
Police are now looking for the attacker after she assaulted Margot Kagan, 54, in a Staples in Hackensack, New Jersey, just after 3pm on Wednesday.
Cops said that the incident happened just after 3pm when Kagan was approached by the woman who was reportedly wearing her mask below her mouth.
Kagan, who was using the copy machine at the time, told cops that she told the attacker that she should put on her mask.
However, the woman reportedly became irate and violently threw Kagan to the ground – leaving her with a fractured tibia.
The suspect has been described as an African American woman who is between five-foot five and five-foot eight and roughly 160 pounds.
Police said that Kagan, who had a liver transplant four months ago, is recovering in hospital.
