75-year-old who was sucker-punched calls on NYC to fix mental health crisis

A 75-year-old woman who was randomly slugged in the face by a man in upper Manhattan is a retired crime reporter — and is now calling on city officials to do something about the Big Apple’s growing mental health crisis.

Judith Thomas, a former Channel 9 reporter, was sporting a massive bruise on her face Monday, along with swollen cheeks and lips, a day after she was sucker-punched in broad daylight. “We do not have enough mental health facilities for these people,” Thomas told The Post.
