A snoozing straphanger was slashed in the neck by a stranger with a spiky hairdo early Saturday aboard a Manhattan subway, police said.
The attacker said nothing before he knifed the victim, 33, around 5 a.m. on a southbound E train near 14th Street and 8th Avenue and fled, according to cops.
It’s unclear why the victim, who lives in Brooklyn, was targeted. Nothing was stolen from the victim, police said.
The 5-foot-9, 165-pound attacker was wearing a winter face-mask and had a spiky hairstyle, cops said.
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
It was the latest in a string of scary and macabre incidents on the city’s subways.
Last week, a man punched a woman in the face in Manhattan because she had bumped into him at the 42nd Street-Times Square station.
Earlier in January straphangers recorded footage of a burning pile of clothes or a backpack on an F train at the Second Avenue station.
And last month, a dead man was found inside a subway car on a Q train on the Upper East Side.
