   A career criminal with more than 100 arrests to his name was   
   busted for cruelly shoving a 92-year-old woman into a Manhattan   
   fire hydrant — leaving his victim too scared to walk alone in   
   her own neighborhood.   
      
   The injured elder, a Bronx native named Geraldine, spoke to The   
   Post on Tuesday after cops arrested convicted sex offender   
   Rashid Brimmage, 31, and charged him with attacking her.   
      
   “I thought a brick hit me or something hit me on the left side   
   of my head, and I went right down and hit my head against the   
   hydrant,” Geraldine, who asked that her last name be withheld   
   for safety reasons, said of the attack. “Blood was coming out,   
   not spurting blood, but blood was dripping.”   
      
   Geraldine, who has lived in Manhattan for more than 50 years,   
   was on her way to Duane Reade when Brimmage allegedly shoved her   
   to the ground near Third Avenue and East 16th Street in Gramercy   
   Park at about 3:30 p.m. on Friday.   
      
   She slammed against the fire hydrant and lay on the ground until   
   a passerby called 911 and medics rushed her to nearby Beth   
   Israel Hospital.   
      
   The former teacher, who never married but is dating an 89-year-   
   old lawyer, said her physical wounds were relatively minor and   
   have since healed — but the mental toll has been much more   
   severe.   
      
   “Mostly I’m shaken. My head still hurts where it was bleeding,   
   where I hit the hydrant — or where he hit me, I don’t know,” she   
   said.   
      
   “Mainly it’s psychological — just the fear of going out on the   
   street,” she added.   
      
   “This damned guy put me in a state where I’m fearful to walk the   
   streets alone. So my super’s trying to find somebody who will   
   walk me to a park nearby or to the supermarket, that kind of   
   thing. So that’s the problem.”   
      
   Brimmage was busted by cops Tuesday and charged with assault   
   after investigators recognized him from video footage of the   
   attack, authorities said.   
      
   The frequent offender has now been arrested 103 times since 2005   
   for petty crimes and sex offenses, sources said.   
      
   The creep was convicted of sexual misconduct in 2012, then   
   arrested for two sex offenses in 2014, police sources said.   
      
   In May of that year, he was busted for exposing and fondling   
   himself on an East Harlem street, the sources said.   
      
   Just months later, in July, he was arrested for grabbing a   
   woman’s behind at a Third Avenue deli.   
      
   In 2017, he failed to notify authorities that he changed his   
   address and had to register as a sex offender, state records   
   show.   
      
   At the time of Friday’s attack, Brimmage had three open criminal   
   cases in the city, according to court records.   
      
   He was arrested Feb. 17 for a misdemeanor assault and harassment   
   charge for an incident that happened in The Bronx a week   
   earlier, according to records. He was released without bail in   
   the case.   
      
   He was busted in the borough again March 5 and slapped with   
   trespassing summons, according to court records.   
      
   And most recently, he was arrested March 9 in Manhattan and hit   
   with criminal possession of a controlled substance, assault and   
   attempted assault charges.   
      
   He was given a desk appearance ticket for the bust and ordered   
   to return to court at the end of July.
