Police are investigating another attack on the New York City subway, after a woman was slashed across her leg as she was on the platform of a Manhattan station during rush hour.
The incident occurred just after 6 p.m. at the Herald Square station at West 34th Street and Sixth Avenue, as the woman was waiting for a train on the southbound M platform, according to police.
The suspect allegedly stole a cellphone from another woman on the platform and was trying to get away, which is when the victim stepped in to help.
The 34-year-old woman tried to stop the suspect, but was slashed across her leg with a sharp object. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where she is expected to recover. The woman whose phone was stolen was not hurt.
