The incident happened around 4:30 p.m. Feb. 14 on a northbound 1 train near the 34th Street/Penn Station stop.
Authorities say the 60-year-old victim was exiting the train when the suspect said, God bless you, stay safe.
Police say the woman stabbed the man multiple times in the back with an unknown sharp object.
The victim said he immediately felt pain around his spinal cord and kidney area after that. He fell to the ground and the female suspect left the scene.
The MTA is asking for 1,500 additional cops to be assigned to the city’s beleaguered transit system triple the number the NYPD said it would send in by Monday.
