A young man was stabbed in the middle of a robbery and a woman was sexually assaulted within hours of each other on the chaotic New York City subway. The suspects have not been arrested

First a 23-year-old man was stabbed at a subway station in Times Square on Saturday the 23rd. The crime occurred shortly after 9 p.m. at the A/C/E station at 42nd and 8th Avenue. The NYPD said the attacker approached the young man, attempted to take his cell phone in the middle of a verbal dispute and stabbed him in the torso. He then fled the scene, leaving his victim bleeding.

The injured man was transported to NYC Health and Hospitals/Bellevue in stable condition. The fleeing suspect was described as a light-skinned man, 5 feet 5 inches tall, wearing black pants and a white T-shirt with gold lettering reading “Legend,” Fox News described.

Earlier on Friday night, the 22nd, a young man sexually assaulted a 24-year-old woman inside the mezzanine of the M line subway station on Central Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

NYPD officers received the call at approximately 7:35 p.m. after the suspect inappropriately touched the woman before exiting the station, but she managed to escape and the alleged pervert fled.

Since taking office in January 2022 Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD, announced several times that the number of NYPD officers would be doubled in the subway system in a beefed-up security plan to address violence in the chaotic NYC Subway. But so far the incidents have continued.

No arrests have been made in these cases. Anyone with information should call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) and in Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Also via crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or by text message to 274637 (CRIMES), followed by TIP577. All communications are strictly confidential.
