The NYPD released a video Sunday of the suspect. He was seen in the video exiting the turnstile at the station wearing a gray T-shirt, black pants and a white bandana.

The incident occurred as the mom and son were walking up the staircase of the Canal Street Q train station around 10:45 a.m. Saturday, authorities said. The alleged thief attempted to grab the son's backpack, which sent the pair tumbling backward.

One witness told the New York Post that the son was "screaming for help" and the mother's head was bleeding profusely.
