NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- Police are searching for a suspect after a subway rider was slashed with a towel at a station in Long Island City.
The NYPD released surveillance images Thursday of the man they're after in the random June 30 attack at the Court Square station.
The victim, a 41-year-old man, was on the mezzanine level near the G train at 7 p.m. when his attacker came up with a white towel.
The stranger used the towel to strike the victim in the head "with force," police said.
The victim was lashed so hard with the towel that it left a gash on his head, according to police.
The suspect fled on a Flushing-bound 7 train, while the victim was transported to an area hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
