The NYPD is investigating another attack on the subway. Two people were slashed on an L train Tuesday night as it pulled into Union Square. Police say a good Samaritan tried to help a woman who was being assaulted. He shared his story with KevRincon.
CBS2's Kevin Rincon heard from that good Samaritan. John - who didn't want to go on camera or give his last name - watched as the suspect, who police believe is a homeless man, towered over a 28-year-old woman.
"The whole time he was giving her eyes and he was, like, snapping his gum, and just staring at her and just acting creepy," he said. "He punched her in the cheek, and immediately her cheek split open," he said. "I wanted to stop it. I wanted to just get him to the ground and stop him from doing anything else," he said.
That good Samaritan told Rincon he didn't realize he himself was injured until he arrived at the platform. "I got, like, 26 staples in my head. I got cut all in the back of my head and my upper back," he said. As he and the woman he tried to help were taken to the hospital, police say the suspect ran up the stairs and got away.
