Three Manhattan straphangers were slashed in separate brazen subway
attacks Sunday � and cops are looking into whether the same maniac was
behind all of the attacks, sources said.
The first assault took place at around 4:20 p.m. on the Upper East Side
when two women � 19 and 48 years old � were both slashed in the legs at
the 86th Street and Lexington Avenue station, according to law enforcement sources.
�The girl came up to my booth to call the cops,� an MTA worker at the
station said of one of the victims.
�She was crying. She didn�t know the person. She said the person just
walked up to her and slashed her for no reason. Then I got the police
here.�
About 15 minutes later, a 28-year-old woman was slashed in the 4 train
station at the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall station � with the gash so deep
that a tourniquet had to be applied to her leg.
The woman was rushed to Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening
injuries, the sources said.
Cops believe all of the incidents, which all occurred along the 4/5/6
lines, could be connected.
The Post reported Saturday that the number of people busted with illegal
knives in the subways in the five boroughs has jumped by 60% � 572 so far
this year compared to 358 over the same time in 2022.
Over the last four years, the number has jumped by 126%, police data
shows.
