"After cops asked the public's help identifying the suspect, he went on to attack two more victims, each time coming up from behind and slashing the left side of his target's face, sources said. About 9:40 p.m. on Saturday he slashed a 53-year-old man near Foster and New York Aves., about a mile and a half from the Church Ave. station."
