BRONX - Cops are searching for the man who repeatedly punched a woman in the face and threatened her with a knife during an arguement on a subway platform in the Bronx. 


At around 8:30 am on December 15, a 37-year-old woman got into an arguement with a man on the northbound platform at the White Plains Road and East Gun Hill Road Station of the Number 5 train in Williamsbridge. The heated argument became physical and then deadly. 




The man dressed all in black began to punch her in the face repeatedly. While she was reeling, the attacker pulled out a knife and threatened her life. The attacker then ran down the staircase of the elevated platform to the street below.
