Two people were slashed – including a man who had been scuffling with a teen stranger over a seat – and a trespasser was busted with a loaded rifle in a spurt of subway mayhem Tuesday, cops said. A 52-year-old man got into a spat with 19-year-old Chrisena Chambers over seating on board a northbound No.6 train at Lexington Avenue and East 51st Street around 3:20 p.m.
when the teen flew into a rage, authorities said. Chambers allegedly slashed the man on the left side of his face, near his ear, cops and sources said. While the injured man was treated at the scene, Chambers stayed on the train – making it to the East 125th Street station in Harlem, where she was arrested, cops said. Chambers was charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and harassment, authorities said. Several hours later, just after 11 p.m., a man slashed a woman across the face inside the 125th Street station at St.Nicholas Avenue, authorities said. That victim was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside, where she was listed in stable condition.
Her age was not known, but cops described her as an adult.Her attacker, last seen wearing a black hoodie with a multi-colored flower, ran away and had not been caught by Wednesday, police said.The motive for that assault, and whether the two knew each other, was not known, cops said.Separately, a man was nabbed inside a Bronx subway station with a loaded, defaced Palmetto State Armory TA-15 rifle late Tuesday afternoon, police said. Abraham Sosa, 20, allegedly snuck behind a “No trespass” sign and made his way toward a tunnel in the Kingsbridge Road B and D train station around 4:30 p.m.when eagle-eyed cops stopped him in his tracks, cops and sources said. Sosa then allegedly flipped out and fought with the officers – two of whom suffered minor injuries, police said.During the struggle, the weapon fell out of Sosa’s backpack, cops said.
