Two on-duty MTA employees -- both 43-year-old subway conductors -- were attacked on the job in separate boroughs a week apart, with a rider gashing one victim in the head with a glass bottle and another randomly shoving the second to the platform.
The most recent attack happened this past weekend in Manhattan. According to police, a rider walked up to the 43-year-old conductor's partition window on the train around 1:45 a.m. Sunday and smashed the glass bottle into his face.
The conductor suffered multiple lacerations to his head. He was taken to a hospital for treatment and later released. The suspect, meanwhile, ran off, though it wasn't clear from which subway station he fled. It also wasn't known if words were exchanged. A week earlier, on May 8, cops say a different suspect randomly shoved an on-duty MTA conductor to the ground at the Bronx's 205th Street-Norwood station. The conductor suffered substantial back pain and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
