SUBWAY SLASHER ACCUSED OF KNIFING WOMEN'S LEGS ON LOOSE IN NEW YORK CITY, POLICE
SAY


NEW YORK CITY KNIFE ATTACK SUSPECT TARGETING WOMEN FROM BEHIND IN MANHATTAN,
NYPD SAYS


By Michael Ruiz | Fox News

New York City police are on the hunt for a man accused of sneaking up on
unsuspecting women and slashing their legs from behind in Manhattan before he
disappeared into the subway system.

Police allege he slashed three women in separate incidents up and down the
subway system between 4 and 5 p.m. Sunday.

Around 4:15 p.m., police say the first victim was slashed in the right leg from
behind at the 86th Street/Lexington Avenue station, as she was getting off a
train.

According to the NYPD, moments later the same man slashed a 48-year-old woman's
right leg from behind as she was waiting for a southbound train — which the
suspect boarded before first responders arrived to treat the victims.

Police say the next attack took place less than 20 minutes later, on a No. 4
train near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall station downtown, targeting a
28-year-old woman who was sitting in a southbound car.

She was rushed to the hospital with a "severe" wound to her left leg, police
said.

After he hopped a turnstile to exit the station, police said he was seen fleeing
through another station at Chambers Street before he vanished.

The suspect, pictured jumping over a turnstile and wearing a Boston Red Sox hat
and white T-shirt with an orange-and-yellow character on the front, is described
as 5 feet, 8 inches tall and around 220 pounds. He had short black hair and was
also wearing a medical mask, pulled down to his chin, blue pants and black
sneakers.

Anyone with information about his identity or whereabouts is asked to call the
NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

The string of knife attacks comes days after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin
Bragg touted declines in homicides and shootings so far this year after alarming
spikes early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

The New York Post, which has common ownership as Fox News Digital, reported over
the weekend that knife arrests in the city's subway system have jumped 60% so
far this year compared to last and are up by 126% over 2019.

The slashing spree also comes weeks after Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless
man with a lengthy criminal record and history of mental illness, died after an
altercation on an F train subway car when a bystander restrained him with a
chokehold.

A 24-year-old Marine Corps veteran named Daniel Penny has been charged with
manslaughter in Neely's death.
