The NYPD on Wednesday released surveillance footage of a suspect wanted for stabbing a stranger on a Manhattan subway — and revealed the clash was over spitting on the train.
Police say the two men argued over spitting on a downtown No. 1 train as it neared the 110th St.-Cathedral Parkway station in Harlem about 9:15 a.m. Jan. 1.
As the quarrel escalated, the 30-year-old victim was stabbed multiple times in the head, arm and upper body by the enraged attacker. The victim was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital and is recovering.
Cops are asking the public’s help identifying and tracking down the suspect.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
