A suspect is wanted after two women were slashed at a subway station on the Upper East Side and one on a train in Lower Manhattan. GainerTV reports.
Police said a man attacked two women Sunday at the 86th Street and Lexington Avenue station, before he attacked a third woman on a 4 train.
Just after 4 p.m., the man approached a 19-year-old woman getting off a 4 train at 86th Street and slashed her right leg with a sharp object as she walked up the stairs, police said. Then, he went up to a 48-year-old woman on the southbound platform and slashed her in the right leg from behind, according to police. "That's crazy. That's scary. I literally walk here like everyday, and I take the subway almost everyday," said Cristina Baquerizo, who lives on the Upper East Side.
"Just being more vigilant. That's all I can do. It's New York, unfortunately," said Sheila Santiago. Next, police said the suspect boarded a southbound 4 train, approached a 28-year-old woman sitting and slashed her left leg as the train approached the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station. The suspect got off the train and fled through the Chambers Street exit, according to investigators. This year, felony assaults in the subway system are down, according to NYPD. There were 269 in 2022 and 248 in 2023, so far. Updated statistics are expected Tuesday.
