By Marcus Solis
(Upper West Side - WABC, July 6, 2006) - One man's commute became a personal nightmare this morning, as he was viciously attacked on a subway platform by a man using a set of unusual weapons. Now police are searching for the suspect.
Eyewitness News reporter Marcus Solis has the latest. At noontime police had a suspect in custody that they picked up after another incident near the attack in the subway. The victim unfortunately was just walking into the subway station as the suspect was running out.
The 64-year-old man was stabilized at the scene before being taken to the hospital, the victim of a frightening and bizarre attack.
Around 3:30 this morning someone stole a set of tools from a crew working in the 110th street subway station. Witnesses and police say the suspect began threatening the workers who were installing a new computerized passenger information system.
Reginald Keene,Transit Worker: "He was chasing the workers with the saw, the contractors."
The suspect then moved down the platform of the southbound "1" line as if shadowboxing with the battery powered saws. The victim was walking into the station through the turnstile when the suspect took a swing, and began cutting him with the tools.
The victim yelled, "He's drilling me! He's drilling me!" according to a witness. "When I heard the drilling noise, I thought he was being electrocuted on the track," said the witnesses, Isaac Prescott.
The suspect ran out of the station west on 110th street, dumping the tools in a metal trash can where they were recovered by police. Detectives are reviewing surveillance cameras to see if they captured the man's image.
The victim is at st. Luke's hospital in critical condition, but is expected to survive.
The suspect was described as a black man, 5'11" tall, medium complexion and a clean shaved head, wearing a white T-shirt, blue jeans and tan work boots. He fled the scene.
Shortly after that incident there was another attack and the alleged suspect of that attack fits the description of the suspect in the bizarre subway attack.
