New York City Police are searching for a man who allegedly punched two teenagers in the face on the New York City subway before turning his rage on a woman who tried to intervene in the attack. A 32-year-old woman acting as a Good Samaritan tried to intervene on the teen’s behalf, but was sucker-punched by the man as the train took off. All three victims then exited the train at the Queens Plaza subway station, while the suspect remained on the train, reports the Sunnyside Post. That same month, a 29-year-old man was also stabbed on the subway after being accosted by a man yelling anti-gay slurs, and another man yelling anti-gay slurs stabbed a 20-year-old who attempted to intervene after seeing the assailant harassing women at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. In April, another man in Manhattan punched a gay man in the head while going on an anti-gay rant.
