A woman was brutally attacked, slashed and then shoved onto a subway track by a hulking assailant at a Harlem station, police said Wednesday.
The 37-year-old victim was waiting on the southbound side of a subway station inside West 125th St. and St. Nicholas Ave. on Nov. 5 around 10:50 p.m. when Michael Blount, 29, grabbed the woman’s hair, slashed her several times with a razor blade and then pushed the woman onto the subway tracks, police said.
Blount, described by cops as about 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds with dreadlocks, ran out of the station and fled on foot.
The victim was taken by private means to Mount Sinai Morningside, and was in stable condition.
Blount has a list of prior arrests that include rape, robbery, assault, violation of an order of protection, and disorderly conduct, police said.
