Cops released security camera footage on Sunday in an effort to identify the man they say slashed a straphanger in the neck inside Grand Central Station last week.
A 41-year-old man was standing on the southbound 4, 5, 6 platform at the station at around 8:50 a.m. on Sept. 14 when police say he got into an argument with an unidentified man that quickly escalated into a physical altercation.
The unknown man then allegedly slashed the victim in the neck with an unknown object before fleeing the train on foot in an unknown direction.
EMS rushed the victim to NYU Langone-Brooklyn in stable condition.
The suspect is described by police as a man with a medium complexion, salt and pepper hair and a goatee. He is said to be between 35 and 45 years old, 5’10” to 6’ tall and approximately 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a gray t-shirt and black pants.
