NEW YORK - The NYPD has released surveillance video of the suspect in a vicious assault of an off-duty subway conductor walking away from the scene.
The 52-year-old victim was approached by the suspect on Wednesday at about 11:20 pm. inside the Fulton Street and Crescent Street station in Brooklyn. Without any prior communication, the suspect then slashed the man with an orange boxcutter across the face seriously injuring his left eye, left ear and face, said police.

A New York man was called an anti-gay slur and stabbed with an ice pick while riding the subway, one of five recent incidents that police claim are part of a spike in violent crimes taking place on New York City’s public transit system.
The 28-year-old victim was riding a northbound D train while heading home to the Bronx on Wednesday evening around 11:15 p.m. when a man sat down next to him. The victim, feeling uncomfortable moved to another seat, prompting the suspect to start cursing and yelling at him, according to police.
Regional Police say a person has died after a shed caught fire in Sydney Mines this morning.
The shed was on a property on Crescent Street, where police were called at about 4 o’clock after people in the home saw smoke coming from the shed.
Police say a person’s body was found inside.
There’s no word on the age or gender of the person but police say they didn’t live at the home.
Police, the Fire Marshall and the Medical Examiner are investigating. Currently On-Air:
