27-year-old man robbed, face slashed in NYC subway

According to Fox News, the victim, a 27-year-old man, was riding the southbound N train around 3:47 pm when it stopped at the 14th Street station in Manhattan. As the doors opened the unidentified man grabbed the victim's bag and started walking away.

The victim got off the train and confronted the thief, landing them both in a verbal dispute which escalated into the suspect pulling a knife and slashing the 27-year-old on the left side of his face.

The suspect fled the scene with the bag which reportedly contained $420 worth of construction tools and work boots.

Millions of New Yorkers ride the subway each day, and there has been a marked surge in violent crime in the subways that have seen marauders dressed all in green terrorizing passengers, victims thrown onto the tracks, and children being stabbed to death.

As NYC subway crime is up 41 percent this year, Mayor Eric Adams told his citizens on Friday that the solution to warding off violent criminals is to stop looking at phones and stop listening to music as New Yorkers make their ride.

New York City subway riders say that personal safety and security are their number one concern while riding the transit system, according to data from a recent MTA survey.

Overall crime is up 34.4 percent across New York City and has been surging at rates as high as 50 percent since 2020. Felony assaults in New York are up 17 percent.

In August, Adams said NYC was too crime-ridden for illegal immigrants who were getting off buses anywhere else but the Big Apple as they were being transported up from Texas.
