A suspected random serial slasher who cuts men on the left side of their face is on the loose in Brooklyn, law-enforcement sources said Sunday.<\/p>\n
The suspect launched three bloody attacks over the weekend, beginning around 6:30 a.m. Saturday on a northbound Q train at the Church Avenue subway station, when a 37-year-old straphanger was slashed in the left side of his face, sources said.<\/p>\n
Police said the first weekend slashing was at the Church Street station in Brooklyn around 6:30 a.m. Saturday. Paul Martinka<\/p>\n

Cops responded to a 911 call at the scene and rushed the victim to Kings County Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, according to police. <\/p>\n
Then at 9:40 p.m. Saturday, the same fiend apparently struck again, attacking a 53-year-old man at the intersection of Foster Avenue and New York Avenue \u2014 again leaving the victim with a slash to the left side of his face, sources said.<\/p>\n
He was also taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition, sources said.<\/p>\n
The latest attack occurred shortly before 7 a.m. Sunday in front of 3311 Newkirk Ave., when a 56-year-old man was attacked and again slashed to the left side of the face, according to police.<\/p>\n
The victim was also taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition, also.<\/p>\n
Cops have not linked the three Brooklyn attacks, but sources said it is likely the work of the same serial slasher. Helayne Seidman<\/p>\n
Cops said the attacks are under investigation, and there have been no arrests.<\/p>\n
Police have not officially linked the three incidents, but law-enforcement sources said a preliminary investigation suggests that the same deranged nut is behind all three assaults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A suspected random serial slasher who cuts men on the left side of their face is on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17530,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[357,98,100,99,12193,57,9,24,63,103,104,361,58],"class_list":["post-17529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-assaults","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-manhunts","tag-metro","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-nypd","tag-police","tag-slashings","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17529","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=17529"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17529\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17529"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
