"According to the charges and investigation, at around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 21, Pallchisaca was inside a 7 train at the station when a 25-year-old man entered the subway car. Pallchisaca approached the victim from the front, slashed his throat and then stabbed him in the back multiple times with what appeared to be a knife. He then fled the train."
"Police from the 110th Precinct and Transit District 20 responded to the location, and EMS transported the victim to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. According to the charges, he required multiple stitches for the puncture wounds. A tube was placed in the victim's throat because of injuries to his larynx. The victim is still unable to swallow and remains in critical condition."
"As alleged, the defendant mercilessly stabbed the victim in an unprovoked attack and caused life-threatening injuries, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said. Our subway system is not a battle ground; it is a lifeline for many. My office will use all tools at our disposal to prosecute those who undermine the sense of safety for millions of straphangers in this city."
