A commuter on a Manhattan subway was violently attacked this morning when an unknown assailant lunged at him with a pair of brass knuckles, leaving the victim with serious stab wounds. Witnesses say the attacker, described as a disheveled stranger, emerged from a crowded car and thrust the weapon into the passenger’s side before fleeing the train at the next stop. Emergency responders rushed the injured rider to a nearby hospital, where doctors confirmed he is in stable condition but will require surgery. Police are reviewing security footage and have appealed to the public for any information that could help identify the suspect, warning that the incident underscores growing concerns about safety on the city’s transit system.
