A recent string of subway attacks in New York City, including the robbery and attempted rape of a woman on the F train Thursday, are part of a citywide crime spike underground, according to officials.
Crime in the subways is up 16.6 percent over the same period last year, according to the NYPD.
Much of the rise in crime is being attributed to grand larcenies, but women who travel on the trains late at night or early in the morning say they are also concerned bout attacks.
"It's definitely less safe," said Emmaly Salazar, who rides the subway from her Brooklyn home late at night to get to work. "The F train is empty and I don't see any police around here."
Anyone who may be able to identify the suspect pictured above is asked to call Crime stoppers at 800-577-8477. Salazar's subway stop is Fort Hamilton Parkway, the site of a recent underground assault. more
