Victim Slashed After Fight With Two Men at 125th Street Station

HARLEM, NY — A subway rider was slashed on both of his hands after getting into an argument with two men at the 125th and Lenox Avenue station late Tuesday.

According to the NYPD, a 42-year-old man got into a dispute just after 9 p.m. with two fellow passengers on a train and then was cut by one of the men on the subway platform of the 2, 3 train stop.
