A man’s face was slashed aboard a subway train at Grand Central Station on Thursday morning, police said.
The incident unfolded on a downtown 6 train at 8:54 a.m., when a 41-year-old man was attacked with a sharp object, leaving the victim with a cut across his face, according to police. It isn’t clear what prompted the slashing.
