Transit detectives are on the hunt for the woman who slashed a subway straphanger during a verbal dispute in Harlem last month.
The NYPD released images Wednesday night of the assailant sought for the bloody attack that occurred at 8 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the 145th Street station on the 2 line.
According to law enforcement sources, the suspect confronted the victim, a 21-year-old woman, inside the station mezzanine and engaged her in a verbal dispute. The reasons for the argument were not disclosed.
Police said the beef escalated into a physical altercation, during which the perpetrator pulled out a sharp object and slashed the other woman in the arm.
Following the attack, cops said the suspect fled on foot in an unknown direction.
The incident was reported to the 32nd Precinct and NYPD Transit District 3. EMS rushed the victim to Mount Sinai Hospital in stable condition.
Police described the suspect as a woman wearing a black shirt, black pants, and black sneakers while carrying a black bag.
