Forty-five felony assaults were reported in the city’s subway system in September – a 21.6 percent increase from the 37 such crimes on record during the same month in 2022, the statistics show.
A 29-year-old woman was shoved and fell onto the subway tracks at 5 Av/53 St, hitting her head on a Southbound F train leaving the station at around 12.05pm. .
Norton Blake, the hulking brute who allegedly beat a disabled woman during a savage subway attack in Manhattan last month, told cops he stripped off his belt to “defend himself” against his walker-bound victim before he thrashed her with it.
