A crazed subway rider yelled “you white bitch” as he slashed a random white, Manhattan woman’s face with a razor blade in a Midtown station — and was then held down by fellow straphangers until police arrived, authorities say.
The 24-year-old victim was on a southbound E train at the East 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue station around 6 p.m Saturday when a male Hispanic named Harlens Hernandez, 25, approached, yelled at her and slashed her left cheek, cops said.
Hernandez, who had a box cutter, was heard to say “I’m going to take your eye out” and “you white bitch” to the victim, witnesses told police, according to a criminal complaint.
The victim did not know her attacker, and was taken to Presbyterian Hospital.
Hernandez was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and menacing, cops say. He is being held on $25,000 bail.
Ahhhh “Diversity.” Don’t ya just love it?
