There have been five at least five stabbings in the NYC subway system since Friday night. Transit data released Sunday show crimes underground are up by more than 100 compared to the same time last year. CoryJamesTV has the story.
Victor Mendoza showed James pictures that he took while in the hospital after getting stabbed in the leg at the 168th Street station in Washington Heights.
The attack happened as the 24-year-old construction worker was heading home from work at around 8:30 p.m. “They wanted to rob my wallet, but I defended myself,” Mendoza said in Spanish. “First, I grabbed him from here by the door of the entrance of the train. I pushed and that’s when the other person came with a knife and hit me here. So I had to let him go so they wouldn’t hurt me more.”According to police, the suspects are two teens and one of them stabbed Mendoza with a boxcutter.
About a half hour later, authorities say a 31-year-old man was assaulted at the 116th Street station near Columbia University. Investigators said that victim was stabbed with a knife after allegedly asking a man and woman who were smoking inside the station and blocking his path to move. Those incidents followed at least three other stabbings in the city since Friday. All of them sent victims — two men and, an organization working to improve the subway. He said while the mayor and governor are taking measures to combat the ongoing violence, New Yorkers should still do their part to help by taking public transit.
