Conductor slashed in neck at Brooklyn station; no arrests made

NJ Burkett has the latest.

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, Brooklyn (WABC) -- A subway conductor was slashed in the neck when he stuck his head out of a train at a Brooklyn subway station.

Officials say the attack happened at the Rockaway Avenue and Fulton Street station at around 3:40 a.m. Thursday.

Alton Scott, 59, was on a southbound A train that was pulling into the station. Authorities say that he was slashed in the neck when he stuck his head out the window.

The conductor was taken to Brookdale University Hospital in stable condition.

Scott received 34 stitches to close his slash wound to his neck. There were 25 stitches to the deep end, and another nine sutures to help close it up.

He was later released from the hospital.

"It's crazy, I ain't going to lie. For a conductor to get stabbed in the neck, it's just crazy," one person said.

Officials say a man wearing a blue vest ran from the scene. No arrests have been made.

The NYPD has scoured through footage from the three surveillance cameras at the Rockaway Ave. station, and none are believed to have captured images of the suspect.

All three cameras in the stations are fully operational and working. Two are believed to be at the turnstiles and one on the mezzanine level.

There are no cameras on the platform at this station and none in the subway train where the stabbing occurred.

Detectives are not sure how the suspect evaded those station's cameras, but speculated he could have run into the subway tunnel.

They will now canvas cameras at both neighboring stations and above ground.

TWU Local 100 Union President Richard Davis said: "The law is clear: our safety is in the hands of our employer. But we need better protection now, before we lose one of our own. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: statistics mean nothing until the violence stops."

"This is attempted murder. The wound on Mr. Scott's neck is too close to his carotid artery. We're at a breaking point where we can't do our jobs safely. The city is in crisis, and the target is on our backs.

"Janno Lieber's MTA police force of 1000 officers must be immediately deployed to the metro NYC area. We're facing heinous crimes and brutal assaults. Enough is enough."

Crazy how unsafe the city is becoming due to the Adams administrations facilitators. It's no wonder the FBI is being called in.

The city wasn't even this bad in the early 90's.

Scott Stringer bout to slide in as the next mayor :mjlol:
Nope.

It won't be Stringer.

Believe it or not Cuomo has a better chance than Stringer.

I'm telling y'all, Eric Adams probably isn't going anywhere and the Dems have no one to blame but themselves.

RCV + Identity Politics = Eric Adams

You reap what you sow
