Retired Postal Worker Freed Without Bail After Allegedly Slashing Woman, 68, in Face Inside NYC Subway Station

A 70-year-old retired postal worker who allegedly slashed a woman in the face in a Brooklyn subway station was freed without bail Sunday, officials said.

Eric McCoy — sporting a gray beard and a hoodie — appeared before a judge in Brooklyn Criminal Court at 1 a.m. on a felony charge of assault with intent to cause harm with a weapon and three misdemeanors, including illegal weapons possession and harassment, court records show.

The suspect allegedly put a knife to a 68-year-old woman’s cheek and sneered, “Do you want more?” before cutting her face at an emergency-exit door of the Sheepshead Bay B and Q station 18 hours earlier, according to the NYPD and a criminal complaint.

The top assault rap against McCoy carries a potential prison term of up to seven years.
