Man Stabbed and Slashed at Upper West Side Subway Station

A man was slashed across the head at a subway station on the Upper West Side Sunday night, police said.

The slashing followed an argument between the 26-year-old victim and another subway rider aboard a northbound 3 train at the 72nd Street subway station. 

Polices say the suspect was walking through the train with luggage and said "excuse me" to the victim, who ignored him. 

That's when the suspect reacted angrily, police say, slashing and stabbing the man on his head, hand and right arm. 

He was taken to Mount Sinai St. Luke's with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Police said no arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing.

No one else was reported injured.
