Two straphangers were slashed in the Big Apple's subway system during the Monday evening commute in separate attacks after the victims got into arguments with their perpetrators, cops said.
A 28-year-old woman was first cut across the face on the platform of the 86th Street station that serves the 4 and 6 lines on the Upper East Side in Manhattan around 6:30 p.m., police said.
The victim and unidentified man, who had on all-black, were in dispute leading up to the attack, according to the NYPD.
The woman was taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition.
About 20 minutes later, a 30-year-old man was slashed in the neck and back on a southbound L train pulling into the Wilson Avenue station in Brooklyn by a suspect after the two also got into an argument, police said.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
