It appears to have been an unprovoked attack, police said.
The victim's husband was standing outside the bathroom with their two other kids, ages 12 and 15, when his wife went in to change the baby. He saw the suspect walk into the bathroom, and then heard screaming, police said. He then rushed inside and helped his wife subdue the suspect, holding her until store security arrived, according to the NYPD.
Both the mother and baby have been released from the hospital.
