they should stand on subway platforms and feel like they re in threat of their lives. but everybody should stand away from the edge of the platform. reporter: and look at this terrifying assault from february. watch as the suspect repeatedly hits a 57-year-old woman in the head with a hammer as she makes her way down the stairs to a queens subway station. police say she was struck as many as 13 times and left with a fractured skull in critical condition. investigators say the suspect stole her purse. also in february, soon after new york city s mayor unveiled a new safety initiative to combat subway crimes, there were at least six slashing or stabbings in the subway. police say those included two stacks at queens subway stations, a man stabbed in the back on a manhattan station, and another assault involving a hatchet. and as terrifying as those attacks are, experts say a rider s chance of attack is close to one in a million and
