Cops Release Disturbing Video of Random Hammer Attack in NYC Subway

Tina Moore, New York Post, August 22, 2021

Video captures a maniac striking a Manhattan straphanger on the head with a hammer, leaving the bleeding victim on the tracks — all because the rider looked at the suspect the wrong way, cops said Sunday.

“Don’t look at me!” the attacker barked at the 44-year-old stranger, who was waiting on the platform for the N/R line at Union Square Station around 9 p.m. Saturday {snip}

“The victim tries to get away, and the perp comes back with a hammer and hits him,” a police spokesman said.

The injured man fell to the tracks but was pulled to safety by good Samaritans, cops said.
