Other victims of subway crimes included a person on a train in Brooklyn who randomly got his nose broken and a 70-year-old man got his head bashed with an umbrella during a fight that took place in a subway elevator on the Upper East Side.

In a similar incident in Queens, a 21-year-old was mugged of his cell phone by a trio of creeps while he was waiting for an F train. The incident took place on November 21 at around 8.00 am at Parsons Boulevard station in Jamaica hills while he was standing on the platform. The NYPD, who is still trying to track down the suspects, released a video showing a group surrounding the victim, punching him in the face, and grabbing his phone. Cops said that the victim refused any medical attention. 

In yet another incident, a 33-year-old straphanger was threatened by a 17-year-old menace on a G train at the Court Square subway station. This occurrence on November 27 at around 2 pm took place when the young suspect threatened the rider with a knife as he thought the straphanger had taken a photo that included him. The 17-year-old was apprehended.

On the same day, within hardly an hour, a brute seemingly in his 30s smacked a 60-year-old man in the face following an unprovoked attack. This attack happened at the Nevins Street subway station in Brooklyn on the No 2 line at 3.15 pm. To get away from his attacker, the victim exited the train at the station. However, the brute followed him and before jumping onto the Northbound No 4 train to run away, the assailant continued to punch him multiple times in the face.

A witness captured an image of the attacker with his cellphone. However, the cops could not locate the attacker after searching the area. The victim suffered from a broken nose and cheekbone as revealed in the X-rays taken at the Brooklyn Hospital. After that attack, in about 15 minutes, a dispute took place in an elevator in a station on the Upper East Side in Manhattan wherein a 70-year-old man was hit in the head with an umbrella, says the New York Post.

Unclear about what the quarrel was about, the 40-year-old attacker was arrested and received charges of second-degree assault. The police sources said that the attacker identified as Eutano Bernard, struck the victim during a dispute while the victim was at the 86th Street/Lexington Avenue subway station for the No. 4/5 line.
