A woman was slashed with a razor during the Tuesday evening rush hour on a Bronx subway train, the latest in a series of violent incidents across New York City’s transit system, according to police, as reported by The New York Post.
The attack occurred around 5:30 p.m. aboard a northbound 2 train as it passed through the Pelham Parkway station.
Authorities said the victim was speaking with someone when an unknown woman inserted herself into the conversation, sparking an argument.
Would-be chain thief slashes woman with razor on NYC train in latest transit chaos: cops https://t.co/7NvBNzo3NO pic.twitter.com/nukz0Tr5rv— New York Post (@nypost) November 27, 2025
The situation escalated when the suspect cut the victim with a razor and attempted to grab her chain. Police said the suspect was unsuccessful and fled the scene. She is believed to be in her 30s.
The NYPD released a surveillance image of the suspect on Tuesday night and continues to search for her. The victim’s injuries were treated following the attack.
The incident comes roughly one week after a separate act of violence on a Brooklyn train, in which an attacker wearing a pink coat choked a teen girl.
Police said the assailant grabbed the girl by the throat, making it difficult for her to breathe, before fleeing the train. The teen was treated at the scene for neck injuries.
Transit crime has drawn renewed attention in recent weeks following multiple high-profile incidents.
On November 19, Tyquan Manassa, 28, allegedly stabbed two men on the southbound platform serving the E and F trains at the Union Turnpike station in Kew Gardens. The attack was caught on video, and police later identified Manassa as the suspect.
Three days earlier, on November 16, prosecutors said Aaron Nett, 33, shoved a good Samaritan into a moving train at the 135th Street station serving the 2 and 3 lines in Harlem.
The woman had attempted to break up a fight moments before the shove. The victim suffered a broken back in the incident, according to sources.
Despite the recent string of violent events, NYPD data updated Sunday indicates that felony assaults in the transit system are slightly lower than at this point last year.
A total of 513 felony assaults have been reported for the year to date, compared to 517 during the same period last year. Misdemeanor assaults have also decreased, falling from 1,392 last year to 1,310 this year.
The NYPD continues to investigate each of the incidents, and officers are still seeking the woman involved in the Tuesday evening slashing on the 2 train.
Brigades of social workers have never been more urgently needed.
Democrats want us all to get rid of cars and use mass transit, while at the same time flooding America with violent foreign criminals. Nobody wins except them.
People need to start traveling in buddy teams. Put the phone and reading material away. Maintain situational awareness. Be ready to subdue a threat with other riders if you can muster the courage and sense to work together.

Just classify some felonies as misdemeanors, and some misdemeanors as summary offenses. Then by golly, you can get any result you want.
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
That is my concern for the coming year...
Yes, It's Them Again, Boo Boo!
Just another isolated incident. Nothing to se here, folks, move along.
(Boogie man mo gitcha, sucka!)
A mostly peaceful slashing.
What’s Bernie Goetz doing these days?
How old is this perp? 12? 15?
Good thing guns are illegal.
Good thing stabbing people is illegal.
Daniel Penny.
...believed to be in her 30s.
And be well armed with no hesitation.
If the city government doesn’t take care of this problem soon, you are going to see lots and lots of people Going Goetz on the criminals.
