Three subway performers are wanted by police for allegedly attacking a man during an apparent dispute on board a subway train in Long Island City earlier this month. According to law enforcement sources, the suspects-described as black males between 17 and 19 years of age- were performing a dance show on a Manhattan-bound F train approaching the 21st Street-Queensbridge station at 7:20 p.m. on May 7 when they became engaged in an argument with a 28- year-old male passenger. As the train came to a stop, the three suspects struck the passenger about the head and body numerous times, then exited at the 21st Street- Queensbridge station. Members of the 114th Precinct, the NYPD Transit Bureau and EMS units responded to the scene. The victim was brought to Cornell Medical Center for treatment. Persons with information regarding the assault or the suspects’ whereabouts that could prove helpful are urged to contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-577-TIPS, by text message to 274637 (enter information, then the code TIP577) or online at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
