UPDATE: NYPD now investigating 6 separate stabbings at subway stations since Friday night.
Victor Mendoza showed James pictures that he took while in the hospital after getting stabbed in the leg at the 168th Street station in Washington Heights.
“They wanted to rob my wallet, but I defended myself,” Mendoza said in Spanish. “First, I grabbed him from here by the door of the entrance of the train. I pushed and that’s when the other person came with a knife and hit me here. So I had to let him go so they wouldn’t hurt me more.”According to police, the suspects are two teens and one of them stabbed Mendoza with a boxcutter.
Those incidents followed at least four other stabbings in the city since Friday. All of them sent victims — three men and“Being a tourist here, that is kind of scary because it could have happened to me or to any of my friends, so it’s really scary,” said Micaela Mozota of San Francisco. As CBS2’s Kevin Rincon reported, there has been a change in some people’s perceptions of taking mass transit.
