"Cops say a 31-year-old man entered a crowded train and accidentally bumped into the suspect. Becoming enraged, the perpetrator yelled something the victim did not understand before pulling a sharp object from his backpack. Law enforcement sources said the brute then slashed the commuter across his face and left wrist as the train, then departed at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop before officers from the 84th Precinct and NYPD Transit District 30 could apprehend him."
"The victim, meanwhile, was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he received stitches and was listed in stable condition. Police are still searching for the alleged attacker, and on Tuesday released images of the suspect, who was last seen wearing a black hat, blue pants and black sweater. Anyone with information regarding this incident can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or submit tips online. All calls and messages are kept confidential."
