The attack took place around 5:23 p.m. on August 29 aboard a Queens-bound A train near the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets station, police said. According to authorities, a 31-year-old man boarded the crowded train and accidentally bumped into the suspect, who then became enraged. The suspect shouted something unintelligible before pulling a knife from his backpack. He then attacked, slashing the victim on the left arm and side of the head before fleeing the train at Hoyt-Schermerhorn Station and disappearing into the crowd, police said.

Brooklyn, NY - A 31-year-old man was slashed on a southbound "A" train Friday afternoon after a dispute with another rider turned violent, police said. The attack happened around 4:23 p.m. as the train approached the Hoyt/Schermerhorn Station. According to investigators, the unidentified assailant pulled a knife and slashed the victim on the arm and head before fleeing the station. EMS transported the victim to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

The man in question had already been detained once before and was released soon after the incident, with no initial indication of him being directly involved in injuring a young American. But investigators said new information might implicate him more directly. Police said in a press release that after further investigation there was now reasonable grounds to suspect that he was "involved in the knife attack against the 20-year-old American and also himself injured the victim with a dangerous object."

During a standoff, police deployed a pepper ball that circulated through the building's ventilation system, forcing the evacuation of residents from over 50 units.
