Transit detectives in Brooklyn are looking for the deranged man who stabbed and bit a man on board a subway train on Friday.

The NYPD released on Saturday images of the culprit behind the attack, which occurred at about 3 p.m. on Feb. 28 on board a Manhattan-bound L train at the Graham Avenue station in Williamsburg.

According to law enforcement sources, the perpetrator approached the victim, a 58-year-old man, and went on the attack, stabbing him in the left shoulder and biting him.

Following the assault, cops said, the suspect fled the location to parts unknown.

The incident was reported to the 94th Precinct and NYPD Transit District 33. EMS rushed the wounded man to Bellevue Hospital for treatment of a puncture wound to the left shoulder and a head laceration. 

The suspect is pictured wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt with a red graphic on the front, white graphics on the sleeve, and the words “Hellstar Tour” with a red graphic on the back, along with dark-colored pants and black shoes with white laces. He was also seen carrying a white-and-black duffle bag with the word Youmai on the side.

Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.
