Man Slashed In Unprovoked Attack At Manhattan Subway Station

The New York Post reports that a 27-year-old man was slashed in the face at an Upper Manhattan subway station. The attack was unprovoked, and the victim is in stable condition.

“The victim was standing on the mezzanine at the 168th Street-Washington Heights No. 1 train station around 6:30 p.m. when the male suspect slashed him, police said.”

Though the victim is okay at the Harlem Hospital, the assailant fled the scene. The incident comes after a rise in crimes in underground stations. Earlier this week, there were two incidents on Tuesday where a man was struck with a bottle, and another was slashed on the hand.
