A terrifying incident unfolded on a Brooklyn train as a ski mask-wearing maniac attacked a fellow straphanger in a violent scuffle on Friday afternoon. The 58-year-old victim was riding the Manhattan-bound L train near the Graham Avenue station in Williamsburg when a heated altercation broke out with another rider.
The assailant, described as an unhinged stranger, stabbed the man in the back of his shoulder and proceeded to bite him on the top of his head, according to police reports. The brutal attack left the victim injured and in need of medical attention.
The victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries and listed in stable condition. The shocking incident left passengers on the train shaken and alarmed by the sudden outbreak of violence.
The attacker, who was last seen wearing all black attire and a black ski mask, managed to flee the scene on foot before authorities could apprehend him. Despite efforts to locate the suspect, he remained at large as of Friday evening.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can lurk in public spaces and the importance of remaining vigilant and aware of one’s surroundings.
