Man, 34, stabbed by sunglasses-wearing stranger on Manhattan subway
A 34-year-old man was stabbed in the abdomen during a confrontation with a stranger sporting sunglasses on a Manhattan subway train, police said Saturday. The victim was riding a Bronx-bound No. 4 train into the Bowling Green subway station in lower Manhattan at about 1:20 a.m. Saturday when the unidentified suspect, who was walking with a cane, approached. The stranger flashed a sharp object and jammed it into the left side of the victim's stomach as the two fought, cops said. The attacker got off the train when the doors opened at the Bowling Green station. Cops were called and EMS rushed the victim to New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, where he was treated and released. Investigators recovered surveillance footage of the attacker, which they released on Saturday, asking the public's help in identifying him. The attack comes as the NYPD announced that crime in the subway system dropped by 18% in the first three months of the year, helped by a massive influx of police officers to patrol trains and subway platforms. This was the first time in the last seven years that there have been no murders in the subway in the first three months of the year, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced at a press conference on April 3. Cops investigated 465 crimes in the New York City subway as of March 31, cops said. By contrast, by that time last year, police had investigated 568 incidents. This year's crime numbers are the second lowest on the rails in 27 years. 'Our subways are safer than they've been in nearly a decade,' Tisch said. The assailant in Saturday's attack is described as having a dark complexion and was last seen wearing a black ski mask, a black sweatshirt and a black mask, plus sunglasses. Anyone with information about the stabber's whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.

Woman, 33, stabbed after fight breaks out on train in the Bronx
An argument between two straphangers turned violent Wednesday afternoon, with one woman stabbed on a Bronx-bound train, authorities said. Cops responded to the assault around 3:42 p.m. p.m. on a northbound D train pulling into the 170th Street station in Highbridge after a 33-year-old woman was stabbed in the left leg by a 28-year-old female passenger, cops said. 'It was two women fighting on the train,' an MTA worker told the Daily News following the incident. 'One stabbed the other in the fight.' EMS transported the 33-year-old woman to St Barnabas Hospital, where she was in stable condition, police said. 'When they brought her out in the chair, her body was covered in blood,' the MTA worker said. 'She was conscious and alert but she was covered in her own blood.' Both combatants were taken into custody after the brawl. It wasn't clear what triggered the fight. Bronx-bound B and D trains were temporarily run on the express track from 167th Street to Tremont Ave. after the incident. Service delays were cleared up by Wednesday evening, according to the MTA.

Man shoves 61-year-old straphanger off Brooklyn subway platform
Police are searching for a man who shoved a 61-year-old straphanger off a Brooklyn subway platform — just minutes before a train was due at the station. The victim got into an argument with his attacker on a Bronx-bound D train platform at the Atlantic Ave.– Barclays Center station around 11:50 p.m. Saturday, cops said. The man shoved the victim onto the tracks, and as bystanders rushed to pull him back onto the platform before a train rumbled into the station, the attacker took off on foot. The train was scheduled to arrive at the station at 11:52 p.m. Saturday night, according to MTA timetables. The victim suffered a facial wound during the attack and was taken by medics to NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. Police are still looking for the shover, and on Tuesday released pictures in the hope someone may recognize him. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
