A stranger slugged a woman as she stepped off a train on the Upper West Side early Monday — less than 12 hours after a man was slashed inside another subway station farther downtown, cops said.
The 28-year-old woman had just gotten off an uptown No. 3 train at West 96th Street and Broadway around 5:15 a.m. when a man ambushed her with a sudden blow to the face, police said.
The victim was treated at the scene, and the attacker — whom she did not know — fled and was still at large later in the morning, cops said.
In a separate attack Sunday evening, a 25-year-old man was slashed in the arm on the uptown F train platform at Second Avenue and East Houston Street, authorities said.
