Attacker slashes man with box cutter on NYC subway near Wall Street station

A person was slashed within the face and neck with a field cutter after an argument over a seat on a Manhattan subway practice on Tuesday, cops stated.

The 43-year-old sufferer was attacked on a 4 practice touring north close to the Wall Road station at about 6 a.m., in response to police.

The 2 males acquired into an argument over a seat earlier than the suspect allegedly pulled out a field cutter and slashed the sufferer.

The suspect — who was carrying a black hat and purple sweatshirt for the native 1109 union of the Communications Employees of America — fled the practice on the Wall Road station and ran south on Broadway.
