NYPD: Number 4 IRT Slasher is Woman
By Alicia Cruz
The Black Urban Times
NYPD officers are on the hunt for an IRT slasher whose knifing spree sent two women to local hospitals.
The knife wielding suspect is being described as a woman who approached a 19-year-old subway rider on September 6 around 4:00 p.m. as the victim rode the northbound 4 train at E. 170th Street in Mount Eden. The suspect sliced the woman's face then fled on foot. The victim's injury required stitches.
Six days later, investigators say a woman fitting the same description as the September 6 slasher lashed out at an 18-year-old woman riding a southbound 4 train at the Mount Eden station before fleeing.
A composite sketch of the attacker describes her as being 17 to 25 years old, standing 5-foot-4 and weighing 160 pounds. During the second slashing, the suspect donned a black hooded sweatshirt and plastic gloves. Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hot line at (800) 577-TIPS. Or Share331
