Trespasser with loaded rifle busted, 2 slashed – including man fighting with teen over seat – in NYC subway mayhem: cops

Two people were slashed – including a man who had been scuffling with a teen stranger over a seat – and a trespasser was busted with a loaded rifle in a spurt of subway mayhem Tuesday, cops said.

A 52-year-old man got into a spat with 19-year-old Chrisena Chambers over seating on board a northbound No. 6 train at Lexington Avenue and East 51st Street around 3:20 p.m. when the teen flew into a rage, authorities said.

Chambers allegedly slashed the man on the left side of his face, near his ear, cops and sources said.

While the injured man was treated at the scene, Chambers stayed on the train – making it to the East 125th Street station in Harlem, where she was arrested, cops said.

Chambers was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and harassment, authorities said.
