  • In Queens, a 16-year-old boy was slashed on the back of his head with a box cutter at the Seneca Avenue M line station on Monday afternoon, and the attacker remains at large.
  • An MTA conductor was punched on the 74th Street–Roosevelt Avenue platform in Jackson Heights on Sunday evening, and police released images of the man sought in the case.
  • Earlier this month, a 28-year-old rider was slashed in the face on a southbound 6 train in an incident police described as involving anti-LGBTQIA+ statements, and the suspect has not been identified.
  • Officials say major transit crime fell about 4% in 2025, but early 2026 incidents have ticked up as investigators circulate surveillance images and ask the public to submit tips to Crime Stoppers.
