A man was shot on a Queens subway while a teenager was stabbed on a Brooklyn train Sunday night in separate, violent robberies that occurred within about an hour of each other, police said.
A 36-year-old man was shot and wounded on a southbound A train at the Rockaway Park – Beach 116th Street station in Queens around 9:10 p.m., according to cops and law enforcement sources. The victim was struck once in the left thigh after the suspect demanded his wallet, authorities said.
The victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition, police said.
About an hour earlier, a 15-year-old boy was stabbed in the hip and robbed of his cell phone on a northbound L train near the East 105th Street station in Canarsie around 8 p.m., police said.
The teen victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital in stable condition.
The assailants in both cases fled and no arrests have been made, the NYPD said.
Sunday’s shooting and stabbing are the latest in a series of recent attacks to plague the city’s transit system.
A day earlier, an NYPD transit police officer was punched in the face while responding to reports of a knife-wielding man at a midtown subway station, cops said.
An MTA train conductor was also injured Saturday when a perp shattered a Bronx subway window with a hammer, spraying the glass in her face, police and sources said.
Last Wednesday, a straphanger was stabbed during a fight with another man over a subway seat in East Harlem, cops said.
The previous Sunday, a suspect was accused of three slashings at two subway stations, police said. The alleged perp, Kemal Rideout, was arrested and charged Tuesday.
And Bronx resident Tavon Silver was fatally stabbed June 17 while riding a Manhattan subway train. The suspect, Claude White, was taken into custody days later. The fatal incident happened during an argument over a drug deal that went sour, prosecutors said last week.
