Twice stabbed New York straphanger battles vicious mugger on subway platform
The newly released video shows a straphanger struggling to hold on to his backpack after he was stabbed by a vicious robber on a Manhattan train, police say.
The 34-year-old victim was on a southbound F-train approaching Midtown’s 34th Street-Herald Square station around 10 p.m. on Nov. 22 when the suspect asked for a cigarette, police officers said.
The victim tried to give the man a cigarette when the thug instead tried to steal cash from him, police officers said. A fight ensued, and the robber stabbed his victim in the torso with a sharp object.
