NEW PHOTO SHOWS MANIAC SUSPECTED OF SLASHING BRAZILIAN TOURIST’S NECK IN
UNPROVOKED NYC SUBWAY ATTACK

A new photo released by the NYPD shows the maniac who police believe slashed a
Brazilian tourist in the neck in an unprovoked attack at a Queens subway station
last week. 

The surveillance image, made public late Wednesday, pictures the suspected
attacker who cops say slashed the 29-year-old man’s neck from behind during the
harrowing, random attack at the Queens Plaza station around 10:30 a.m. Feb. 15.

The man, seen wearing a black vest over a gray hoodie, is standing on the
sidewalk and apparently smoking a cigarette.

face.

NYPD Chief of Transit Mike Kemper vowed to catch the attacker.

“We will make an arrest, when we do there needs to be accountability and
consequences — swift. We make arrests every day and we find ourselves arresting
the same people over and over again,” Kemper told The Post last week.

In an unrelated attack two days later, a thug walked up to a 31-year-old man –
who was not a tourist – inside the Queensboro Plaza station and struck him
“multiple times” in the head in an unprovoked act of violence, according to
police.

The bearded attacker – who also has not been caught – then fled, leaving the
victim unconscious.

Transit crime has been spiking so far in 2024 after dipping last year, NYPD
statistics show.

Overall transit crime was up 22.6% since the start of the year through Feb. 11,
compared to the same period last year — with felony assaults up more than 10%,
according to the data.

The numbers include a more than 39% leap in grand larceny in the system.
