Subway Rider Sliced in Power Saw Attack
NEW YORK (AP) -- A man grabbed two cordless power saws off a subway station workbench and went on a rampage Thursday, swinging the saws at riders and slicing open a man's chest before running away, police said.
The 64-year-old victim, whose name was not released, was hospitalized in critical but stable condition. Police were searching for the suspect, described by witnesses as a thin man in his 30s, who had earrings in both ears and was possibly carrying a teddy bear.
The attack occurred before dawn at a subway station a few blocks south of Columbia University.
Wielding a saw in each hand, the man took a swipe at one rider on a platform and missed, police said. Moments later, he cut into the man's chest at a turnstile before bolting out of the station, still carrying the power tools, which were later found in a trash can.
Police were reviewing security camera videotape.
The attack came two weeks after a Boston man was charged with stabbing four people - three of them tourists - over a 13-hour period in the subway and the theater district in Manhattan.

Could have merely requested permission to move ahead in line. After all, New Yorkers are some of the nicest people; especially if you're carrying the TB. Buffy & Jodie, what are your thoughts?
