Another Big Apple subway slashing attack took place over the weekend — the fifth known incident in the past week, police and sources said.
The newly reported assault took place shortly after 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Sutphin Boulevard and Archer Avenue in Queens, where a 33-year-old man had his hands slashed during a confrontation with a stranger, cops said.
The victim told police he was walking a friend to the train when a stranger made inappropriate comments to his friend, who rebuffed the man’s advances and got on the train.
When the victim was returning the stranger confronted him in the station’s mezzanine area and slashed him, cutting his hands, police said.
“Suck my d–k,” the suspect said before the attack, police said.
The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the attack was the second on Sunday — and the fifth since Wednesday.
Later on Sunday a 28-year-old man was punched and slashed in the face around 7 p.m. on a D train at the West 4th Street-Washington Square station in Manhattan.
On Saturday, a 30-year-old straphanger was stabbed in the face on a J train at the Kosciuszko Street station in Brunswick by a man who told him he was “going to die today,” according to police and the victim.
And last Wednesday two other men were slashed in separate incidents in Manhattan.
At around 10:50 p.m. at Grand Central station, a 22-year-old man was slashed in the face by another straphanger who wanted him to turn down his music on a 6 train.
Earlier in the morning, an unidentified assailant slashed a 61-year-old man’s face during a dispute with another man on an L train at the 14th Street/First Avenue station.
