NYPD: Man in wheelchair bashes subway rider with cane
NEW YORK - The NYPD is searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a subway assault in Lower Manhattan.
It happened last month on the Q train inside the Prince Street subway station.
Investigators said a 22-year-old victim was trying to wake up a man who fell asleep with his phone in his hand.
The man then allegedly pulled out a cane and hit the victim in the head and neck before taking off in a motorized wheelchair.
The victim suffered a minor laceration to his head.
