NYC woman near death after plunging down subway stairs during attempted robbery

The woman who underwent brain surgery over the weekend after plunging down a flight of subway stairs during an attempted mugging of her and her son is still unconscious — and doctors fear she may never wake up, her heartbroken family said.

The grim update on 58-year-old Than Htwe’s condition, which was announced Tuesday by her family, came as police are still searching for the brute who left her on the brink of death. “The doctors told us that the trauma to her head was so severe that she won’t be able to wake up,” the son, Kyaw Zaw Hein, and her husband, Myint Shein, said on a newly created GoFundMe page.
