Police say a Manhattan man has been charged with attempted murder for attacking two teens at the Prospect Avenue station Monday night.<\/p>\n
Richard Shaw, 32, is accused of assaulting an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old bystander who was attempting to call 911.<\/p>\n
Authorities say Shaw approached the 18-year-old on the northbound 2 train platform and engaged him in a fight just after 6 p.m. He proceeded to pull out a knife and stab the man multiple times throughout his body.<\/p>\n
Shaw turned his attention to the 19-year-old bystander and attempted to snatch his cellphone before punching and kicking him throughout his head and body, according to police.<\/p>\n
EMS took the 18-year-old to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he is expected to recover. Authorities say the other victim denied additional medical attention at the scene.<\/p>\n
Police sources tell News 12 an employee at the shelter where Shaw lives recognized him from the photos the NYPD released and called 911.<\/p>\n
Shaw faces a slew of additional charges, including multiple counts of attempted robbery, assault with a weapon\/intent to cause serious physical injury and harassment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police say a Manhattan man has been charged with attempted murder for attacking two teens at the Prospect…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[101,357,1271,75,84,83,9,24,63,103,615],"class_list":["post-109480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-arrest","tag-assaults","tag-attempted-murder","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nypd","tag-subway"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
