NEW YORK — A woman allegedly removed her heel and used it to attack a victim near Union Square in Manhattan, according to police.
The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. Sunday near University Place and East 13th Street. The victim, a 43-year-old woman, and another woman were talking when the alleged attacker removed her shoes and struck the victim repeatedly in the back with at least one of her heels, according to police.
