A panhandler slashed a man on board a Manhattan train early Monday, authorities said.
The 32-year-old victim was riding a No. 1 train approaching 103rd Street on the Upper West Side around 3 a.m. when the suspect approached him and demanded money, police said.
When the victim refused, the mugger slashed him on the left hand and thigh, cops said.
The suspect grabbed $40 from the victim, but didn’t get off the train until two stops later at 125th Street in Harlem, police said.
