BRONX - A 16-year-old girl is recovering after being repeatedly slashed by three girls during a fight on a Bronx subway platform, cops said. 

At around 3 pm on November 21, a 16-year-old female was standing on the platform for the northbound Number 2 train at the East 174th Street Station. Cops said three females walked up to the straphanger and began arguing. 

The crew then began punching and hitting the teen. Suddenly one of the group pulled out a knife and began slashing the teen throughout her body. The others yanked the coat off the bleeding victim. Somehow the teen regained her coat before the attackers ran off. 

EMS raced the teen to Jacobi Medical Center where she was treated and listed in stable condition. 

The NYPD released surveillance photos of the suspects. All three are females with dark complexions and medium builds. One was seen sporting a stud nose ring and purple highlights in her hair. 

Another was seen wearing a shower cap and a grey hoodie with the words “New York” across the chest. 

The final suspect was seen wearing a black puffy winter coat and a surgical mask.
