NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Straphangers are on alert after police said a suspect attacked a man with a hammer at a Brooklyn subway station.

And as CBS 2’s John Slattery reported exclusively, police believe the attacker has done it at least twice before – on one occasion at the very same subway station. A pregnant woman was among the other victims

Gsoh - it’s a shame that Hillary and her armed bodyguards weren’t taking the subway that day...

[whatexit]

How many millions will Bloomberg spend to fight the evil carpenters union?

[HammerT]

That is, IF they were to lower themselves to the level of the little people and take public transportation…

And if Her majesty’s palace guard would deign themselves to go out of their way to protect a mere commoner..

[HammerT]

Not mention the lobby groups against the banning of sticks and stones…

[rjsimmon]

Ban 'em all. But you ain't gettin my Trunk Monkey!

[MrB]

Just pointy “assault” sticks.

[hal ogen]

I believe EVERYTHING should be banned.

[HammerT]

Oops! Forgot about banning banana peels..

{Try saying that three times fast}

[miss marmelstein]

The Knock-Out game in full swing.

[JRios1968]

Next security posters for the subway?

[HammerT]

Well, at least those ‘military style’ “assault” sticks…..

…They are certainly scary looking…

And why Oh why would anyone need to have more than 7 stones at any giving time..?

[HammerT]

LOL!

I can’t touch that…

[MrB]

Actually, I think “5 smooth stones” is the standard capacity.

[HammerT]

What better way to Control people…

“I think it’s horrendous. I think that there should be some type of safety protocol put in place so that people can be safe down here because that type of thing happening in a New York City subway station where it’s public is just ridiculous . . . .”

When I first read that I thought this person was calling for metal detectors at subway entrances.

Now, after calming down a bit, I think it just may be a call for returning token clerks and other subway personnel to the stations. Most are unmanned these days and are perfect for an ambush.

Trunk Monkey #4 just RULES!

[HammerT]

Of course, metal detectors wouldn’t stop someone with an Assault Tree Branch…

[DariusBane]

The perp used an assault hammer. Different than a roofing hammer.

[Oratam]

You really went out on a limb with that one.
