BRONX - A 61-year-old man was pepper sprayed and punched in the face on a Bronx subway train during an apparent random attack, the NYPD said.


A 61-year-old did not have far to go when he was assaulted at the subway station a block away from a Bronx hospital. The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect from inside a subway train.


At around 9 am on November 21, a 61-year-old man was inside a Number 2 train near the 149th Street and Grand Concourse station. Cops said a man walked up to the straphanger and sprayed him in the face with pepper spray. The attacker then began to punch the man in the face.
