84-year-old cancer survivor hit by stray bullet in NYC calls it ‘miracle’ she cheated death again

An 84-year-old Brooklyn cancer survivor who was struck by a stray bullet while sitting in her walker told The Post on Tuesday that she’s happy she’s cheated death again.

“It’s a miracle,” Althea Lawson said from her hospital bed.

“I don’t have enough tongue to tell God thanks I’m still here today. Thank God it never hit me in my head!”

Lawson was struck in her left arm by the errant bullet while she sat on the sidewalk near the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and Foster Avenue in East Flatbush around 6:45 p.m. Monday, police said.

She was rushed to Kings County Hospital where she is still recovering.

Lawson said she was about to head home after chatting with friends when she heard the shots.
