NYC: Blades on a Train

Cops searching for woman in subway slashing
24 Oct, about 1800: Man and woman bump while entering a subway. Argument ensues on train. Woman pulls a (small single-edge I think) razor, slashes man across left forearm. Slasher departs train. Picture of slasher and blade at link.

Straphanger slashed from ear to jaw in subway attack
08 Oct,about 0140: One man slashes another from ear to jaw while both riding a train. Article does not indicate whether slasher was caught, nor type of blade, nor cause of ruckus. Victim went to hospital with non-life threatening injury

Man slashed with boxcutter in subway station
12 Sep about 1600: 27 yo man slashed 31 man on right side of face. No disposition on the slasher, no cause of ruckus given. Victim went to hospital.

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:

Slashing victim details moment a stranger cut her throat
20 Oct about 2000: Do RTWT for some lessons. Blade was broken glass in this case. Greg Ellefritz has some good comments here: http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/b ... throat-cut

In that being NY it is a weapon free zone, laws like that really work don't they. Well they do for the slashers.
