A 44-year-old MTA worker in New York City was left with two missing teeth after being punched by a man who was short on cash. The attack took place at the Herald Square station on January 17th, and the suspect is still at large. The victim is now afraid to return to work and is questioning his safety.
A 44-year-old Big Apple transit worker who had two of his teeth knocked out by a short-on-cash subway vagrant said Sunday that he’s now afraid to return to work.
“It’s crazy,” the victim said of the Jan. 17 attack. “The guy said he has money but his car was not working. So, I checked his card and the card only had 30 cents on it. I told him, ‘Sorry, you don’t have enough money.’ Then he suddenly punched me in the face and said, ‘Where did my money go?’The NYPD said this man is wanted for allegedly slugging an MTA worker at the Herald Square station on Jan. 17.
The transit worker, who has only been on the job since late 2023 and has three young children, said he’s still out of work due to his injuries and is questioning whether it’s safe to go back.An MTA worker told The Post this suspect was short on cash on his card — and slugged him when he gave him the news.
Anyone with information about his attacker is urged to call the NYPD Crime Stopper’s Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org.
