A 37-year-old man who was coming to the aid of a woman who was being robbed inside of the Court Square station Thursday was slashed with a sharp object, police said.

The pair then fled the location.

The female victim did not seek medical treatment, while the man was transported by EMS to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst in stable condition.

Police released photos of the suspects.

Adams failed 2019 Deblasio cloned plan to curb crime does not seem to beworking. Big Surprise as No plan Deblasio had ever worked. Worst mayor ever And Bloomberg a close second. At least less crime under Bloomberg.
DeBlasio was a Democratoc Marxist.No much will work Eric Adams intil No Bail law is changed. Adams tried and C. Heastie & A. Stewart- Cousins will not change their minds. So Adams gets mad at white reporters asking tougj questions. He is the wrong man for the job. Sliwa was the best man for the job. Keep voting Democats in and watch NYC and state fall apart even more than it has already.

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue.
