Police are searching for a person they are saying randomly attacked subway riders at a Brooklyn cease over the weekend, slapping one in every of them — and slashing a 36-year-old good Samaritan who tried to intervene, authorities say.
In accordance with the NYPD, the person was harassing riders for no recognized motive on the Bedford-Avenue cease in Williamsburg shortly earlier than 10:30 p.m. Sunday. He slapped one rider within the face, then turned on the 36-year-old, slashing him throughout the face with some form of reducing instrument earlier than operating away, authorities say.
The nice Samaritan was taken to a hospital and is predicted to be OK. No different accidents had been reported.
Police launched a surveillance picture of the suspect (above). Anybody with data is requested to name Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
