"According to court documents, on July 1, at approximately 4 p.m., the victim entered the Upper Manhattan station on his way home from work. While he was on the uptown platform, Solis approached him from behind and allegedly punched him in the back of the head. After the bone-chilling blow, the victim immediately turned around, when Solis brandished a serrated knife and went on a bloody rampage stabbing him multiple times throughout his body, including the torso, face, neck, and left shoulder,"
"Bragg's office said, adding that nearby witnesses intervened and were able to stop Solis from fleeing until help arrived. Upon arrival, just a few minutes later, police officers arrested Solis and recovered a knife from his bag. Meanwhile, according to the Daily News, EMS brought the victim to Mount Sinai Morningside in stable condition. It is unclear what may have led to the attack."
Victor Solis, 58, was indicted in state Supreme Court on charges including second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of second-degree assault for an alleged July 1 stabbing at the West 125th Street and Saint Nicholas Avenue subway station in Harlem. The 56-year-old victim had been returning home from work when Solis allegedly struck him from behind, then produced a serrated knife and stabbed him multiple times in the torso, face, neck and left shoulder, causing life-threatening but nonfatal injuries. Bystanders intervened and restrained Solis until police arrived and recovered a knife; the victim was hospitalized in stable condition. The motive remains unclear.
