NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are looking for an attacker who punched and slashed a subway rider on a Queens platform last month.

The 43-year-old victim got into an argument with his assailant after exiting a southbound N train at the Broadway and 31st Street train station in Astoria around 3:30 a.m. on March 23.

Police said the suspect punched the victim multiple times in the face and slashed him on the left hand with an unknown sharp object.

He fled out of the train station and onto the street in an unknown direction.

EMS responded and transported the aided male victim to New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition.
