Bronx subway slashing: Female suspect sought for attacking woman on the 4 line | amNewYork
"The NYPD released images Tuesday of the female perpetrator sought for the attack at the Burnside Avenue station on the 4 line at 8:15 a.m. on Feb. 3. Police reported that the suspect approached the victim, a 41-year-old woman, on the Manhattan-bound platform and engaged her in a verbal dispute."
"Things turned bloody, cops said, when the perpetrator pulled out a box cutter and went on the attack, slashing the other woman in the left arm. After the assault, the suspect fled from the station on foot to an unknown location, police reported."
"The NYPD reported on Monday that 192 transit crimes occurred in February 2026, 30 more than the total reported in February 2025 accounting for an 18.6% increase. Police sources attributed the uptick in subway crime to felony assaults and nonviolent grand larcenies."
