NEW YORK CITY - A stranger slashed a man across the face outside a Lower East Side subway station during the Monday morning rush hour – part of a recent wave of violence in and around the city’s underground, cops said.
The 27-year-old victim had just stepped out of the East Broadway E and F train station around 7:50 a.m. when the menace randomly approached him on Canal Street near Essex Street, police said.
Without saying a word, the brute slashed the victim — who was waiting to cross the street — across the face before running off, authorities said.
The victim was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, police said. He needed eight stitches to close the gash, sources said.
