According to police, a 17-year-old boy was waiting for the train at the Livonia Avenue subway station around 5 p.m. when he was approached by three teen boys who forcibly tried to take the victim's sweatshirt.

Detectives in Brooklyn are questioning a man who allegedly slashed a commuter in the face on board a subway train Thursday morning following an argument, police reported. The incident happened on a Manhattan-bound A train as it rolled into the Nostrand Avenue station at about 11:40 a.m. on Dec. 11. According to police sources, a 51-year-old man was sitting inside a train car when a 19-year-old man took the seat next to him.

The NYPD released an image of the suspect, who has a medium complexion with curly hair with a goatee and is approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and 140 pounds. He wore a navy blue hooded sweatshirt, black pants, and black sneakers. A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest and indictment.

Sources familiar with the case said the victim, a 14-year-old boy, was riding the train when the suspect approached. The perpetrator was said to be swinging his arms while holding a sharp object in one of his hands. Police said the suspect slashed the boy across the left hand. The wounded teenager got off the train at 183rd Street while his attacker remained on board the 4 train as it pulled away.

The victim was on a Manhattan-bound Q train rumbling into the Church Ave. subway stop in Flatbush at around 6:30 a.m. when another commuter confronted him. The suspect pulled out a sharp object and slashed the victim in the face, cops said. Wounded and bleeding, the victim got off the train at Church Ave. and alerted police. EMS rushed him to Kings County Hospital, where he was treated for a minor wound.

Bronx prosecutors asked the judge that Marshall, a repeat offender with a stint in state prison under his belt, be held on $50,000 cash bail or a $150,000 bond in the Aug. 28 Bronx attack.

"I don't have no bail on me," Marshall shouted, according to a transcript of the arraignment.

NEW YORK CITY - A man was slashed, and another person was pushed onto the subway tracks at a Manhattan subway station late Saturday night, police said. The incident happened at the 57th Street subway station in Midtown around 11:10 p.m. A 39-year-old man was found slashed in the left hand, and a 37-year-old man who was pushed onto the tracks suffered an elbow injury.

Images released by the NYPD earlier Tuesday showed the alleged suspect boarding a Bronx-bound 2 train shortly after the assault. The NYPD says the man wanted in connection with a deadly assault inside the Jay Street subway station in downtown Brooklyn is now in custody. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name has not yet been released as police work to notify his family.

The NYPD reported that the victim, a 64-year-old MTA worker, spotted a man walking along the southbound tracks' roadbed inside the tunnel. Law enforcement sources reported that the employee confronted the trespasser, instructing him to leave the area, but the pair got into a dispute. The suspect became enraged, police said, and slashed the worker across his neck before fleeing further into the tunnel.

Cops say a 31-year-old man entered a crowded train and accidentally bumped into the suspect. Becoming enraged, the perpetrator yelled something the victim did not understand before pulling a sharp object from his backpack. Law enforcement sources said the brute then slashed the commuter across his face and left wrist as the train, then departed at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop before officers from the 84th Precinct and NYPD Transit District 30 could apprehend him.
