Two slashings occurred during the evening rush hour on Monday. Both perpetrators are still on the run.
A man slashed a woman's face on the 4/6 Train line at 86th St. on the Upper East Side around 6:30pm. The two were reported to have been arguing. She is being treated at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center and is in stable condition, as reported by the New York Post.

We are told that more police are in the subway stations, and for brief periods of time, the surge is real. We see them standing near turnstiles and milling about the platforms one day, and the next, they're gone.
But what goes unsaid in this political charade is that stabbing someone in a crowded station during rush hour is not the handiwork of a sane person. It's the mark of a serial offender with mental issues, and we're here to bet that if the perps are arrested, their list of priors will be as long as a CVS receipt.
The Manhattan has taken a softer tone with Mayor Eric Adams than with his gubernatorial overlord, Kathy Hochul, and his federal attorneys, DA Alvin Bragg and AG Tish James. After all, by his words, Adams would lock up the repeat offenders and rid the underground of serial squatter psychos. His peers seem hellbent on higher crime. The woke excuses are wearing thin. It's looking more like a plan than mere incompetence.
That said, there comes a time when patience runs out, and ours just did, this very moment, tonight.
An armed cop on every platform. Active policework, not just chatting and texting and "being present". And for all that's holy, remove the mentally addled/drug addicted homeless from the stations. These are ideas all but the looniest fringe of New Yorkers embrace.
Doesn't anyone want a political win?
