Police are searching for a pair of suspects who allegedly slashed a 24-year-old man across the face over a bottle of cologne on a Bronx train last week.
The incident occurred on board a northbound 5 train at the Nereid Avenue/White Plains Road station in Wakefield just before 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 15.
According to law enforcement sources, the male and female pair approached the victim and asked him for his bottle of cologne. It is unclear whether the victim was holding a bottle of cologne, but the request sparked a verbal dispute among the three individuals.
The scenario turned violent when one of the suspects whipped out a “cutting instrument” and used it to slash the victim across the face, police said.
The attackers, both unknown to the victim, then fled the station on foot to parts unknown.
Officers from the 47th Precinct and Transit District 12, along with EMS, rushed to the scene. Paramedics brought the victim to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacobi in stable condition.
Police on Wednesday released surveillance photos of the two suspects, who remain at large. The female suspect was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and light-colored sneakers. The male was last seen wearing a black jacket, black sweatshirt, black pants, and dark-colored sneakers.
