Subway slasher gets five years
Sentencing was on 12 Sep, but attack was 25 Jan 16. A 71 yo woman got a four inch gash in her face when ..."a man seated across from her got up and slashed her face with a sharp object without uttering a word..." He was later caught when his grandmother recognized him in surv video. The same article about the original attack lists four other slasher attacks around that time, altho not on trains.
I found these because they were in a sidebar to this story:
