NYPD Seeks Suspects in Subway Shove and Slashings Across NYC

Police appeals for tips follow reports of overall transit crime declines.

Overview

  • Police released images of a suspect who allegedly pushed a 35-year-old onto the tracks at Brooklyn’s 36th Street R station early Jan. 18; the victim was treated in stable condition and the assailant remains at large.
  • An alleged anti-LGBTQ slashing on a southbound 6 train on Jan. 10 left a 28-year-old man with a facial wound after a dispute sparked by homophobic remarks; the victim was taken to Bellevue and investigators are seeking the attacker.
  • Detectives also circulated a photo tied to a Dec. 23 Bronx case in which a 17-year-old was slashed in the face at 3rd Avenue–149th Street; he was taken to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.
  • The NYPD asked for public tips across these cases, noting that no arrests had been announced in the Jan. 10 and Jan. 18 incidents as of Tuesday.
  • An earlier New Year’s Day shove led to the arrest of Anton Aleshin on attempted murder charges, even as officials reported a 4% drop in major subway crime in 2025 and fewer sexual-orientation hate crimes year over year.
