NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a man who stabbed a commuter in a Harlem subway station early Friday morning when the victim ignored his provocations, according to police.
A 54-year-old man was minding his own business on the southbound A train platform at the 125th Street station around 4:24 a.m. when the stranger started harassing him, authorities said.
The attacker, ostensibly enraged by being ignored, stabbed the man once in the upper back and fled the station.
EMS rushed the victim to Mount Sinai Morningside in stable condition, where he received stitches for the stab wound.
Police are asking anyone with information on the attack to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Anonymous tips can also be submitted on the Crime Stoppers website or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
