Police said Monday they’re looking for a man who used a baseball bat to attack a 40-year-old man at a subway station in the Bronx, sending him to the hospital.
The incident happened in the mezzanine of the Kingsbridge Road station on the B and D lines in Fordham Manor shortly before 6 p.m. last Thursday, according to the NYPD.
Officials said the assailant approached the man and struck him with the bat in his face multiple times.
The two did not appear to know each other, police said, adding that they are still investigating a potential motive for the attack.
Authorities said the suspect fled the station on foot in an unknown direction.
Emergency medical workers took the 40-year-old to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.
Police said the suspect was last seen wearing a black jacket, brown hooded sweatshirt, green pants and black baseball cap.
Officials said they’re also still investigating a separate attack on the subway last week, in which a 51-year-old man was stabbed and wounded at Lower Manhattan’s Broadway–Lafayette Street station on the B, D and F lines after 5 a.m. Wednesday.
The NYPD released surveillance photos showing the man wanted in connection with the incident wearing a black jacket, a black hood and a blue or gray backpack. Officials described him as about 6’4” and in his 30s.
The 51-year-old was hospitalized in stable condition with knife wounds to his back, and the assailant fled in an unknown direction, police said.
NYPD data through Jan. 25 shows transit crime ticked up by a few incidents compared to the same point last year. There were 136 incidents by that date this year, up from 131 in 2025.
Officials said major transit crime fell 4% last year from 2024, marking one of the safest years on record.
