"The attack happened as the train neared the Cortelyou Road station, where an unidentified suspect slashed the victim in the face with a sharp object before fleeing on foot, heading south on Cortelyou Road. Officers who responded to a 911 call at the scene took the victim to Kings County Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, according to police."
"Police said that following a public appeal for help identifying the suspect, two more people were attacked in a similar style - approached from behind and slashed across the face. The first occurred around 9:40 p.m. Saturday, near Foster and New York Avenues, roughly a mile and a half from the Church Avenue station. The second took place about 7 a.m. Sunday, near Newkirk and New York Avenues, just a block away."
