Thursday's violent incident comes amid a series of attacks in the city's subway system. Last week, a woman was stabbed in Washington Heights. Authorities said she was approached by a man asking for the time just after midnight on Feb. 10 at the 181st Street station on the 1 line.
Hours later, a man allegedly tried to rape a woman on the E train in the Canal Street station. A suspect was later arrested.
