Authorities believe that slashings at two Brooklyn subway stations roughly 15 minutes apart are linked to the same suspect, according to the NYPD.
Both victims were hospitalized but are expected to be OK. One of them, a 67-year-old man, was gashed in a come-from-behind attack on a staircase at Fulton Street on the G line shortly after midnight. That man suffered wounds to his legs and arm.
Police believe his attacker also may have been responsible for a slashing at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays station that occurred 15 minutes prior. In that case, a 38-year-old woman was slashed once in the chin on the 2/3 platform.
No information about a possible suspect has been released.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
