Maria Ambrocio, 58, was taken off life support on Saturday after being left brain dead from a head injury she suffered when an alleged mugger knocked her to the ground in New York City's Times Square, her family and friends said.
Ambrocio, who was born in the Philippines, lived in Bayonne, N.J., and worked at Bayonne Medical Center. Bayonne Mayor Jim Davis asked the public to pray for Ambrocio and her family.
On Friday, Ambrocio had accompanied a friend to the Philippine Consulate in Manhattan and was walking through Times Square at around 1:30 p.m. when "she was knocked down by someone who was described as a mentally disturbed homeless man," the consulate posted on Facebook.
