BRONX - Yet another straphanger was assaulted in an unprovoked attack in a Bronx subway station. Cops cannot determined an attacker’s eye color because he kept his eyes closed throughout surveillance video in the station.
At around 1:20 on October 13, an 18-year-old man was exiting the northbound Number 6 train at East 138 Street and Alexander Avenue station. As the rider walked across the platform he was followed by a man from the train. The man walked behind the straphanger and punched in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground.
Cops say the attack was unprovoked and the victim did not know his attacker.
The victim suffered pain to his neck and head but refused medical attention at the scene.
Police released surveillance video of the suspect who is seen ducking under the bar to sneak through the turnstile. In the video the man is making odd faces and kept his eyes closed as he walked through the turnstile. All photos have the man with his closed so his eye color cannot be determined.
The suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion, medium build, with large black hair and a beard. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and black pants.
This assault is just the latest high-profile subway attack in the Bronx. On October 15, a deranged looking man pushed a straphanger off the platform at at 149th Street and Southern Boulevard just as the Number 6 train pulled into the station. Miraculously the victim was able to duck away from the train and was not injured.
Police arrested 35-year-old Miguel Ramirez for the attack.
On October 6, a Citi Field maintenance worker Charles Moore was stabbed to death at the East 176 Street and Jerome Avenue Station platform of the Number 4 train. There was no motive for the brutal stabbing. Police arrested Saquan Lemons for the murder.
