'We have to be afraid.' Victim of 2nd subway hammer attack in 12 days tells MarcSantia4NY what happened -- and how terrified he feels now
"I just saw him reaching into a bag, pull something out -- and I saw that," he said of the hammer."It happened too quick for me to react, I tried to put my hand up because I was expecting something but I just got hit regardless."
The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital and is expected to be physically OK. A senior NYPD official says cops are investigating the case as a possible hate crime. "It’s hard because we have to be afraid, just be constantly aware, like be afraid of anyone who is passing by you," he added."And you know, who knows what they have, you know. It’s not really a way to live."
The incident comes almost two weeks after New York City started its new “Subway Safety Plan”, a 17-page program to fight the massive spike in transit crime in the still-recovering city. But instead of going down, major transit crimes were up 30% week over week in the first part of the rollout, with felony assaults nearly doubling.
