A serial slasher has left authorities scrambling for clues after three Brooklyn attacks in a span of just two days, leaving victims with gruesome facial lacerations. According to NYPD officials, all three incidents involved an assailant slashing the men on the left side of their faces with a mysterious sharp object.
Details of the first attack unfolded Saturday when a 37-year-old man was injured as he rode a northbound Q train toward Cortelyou Road station. Later that evening, around 10 p.m., another male victim, aged 53, sustained injuries on Foster and New York avenues. Just hours later, before 7 a.m. Sunday, a 56-year-old man was attacked on Newkirk Avenue in East Flatbush.
Police are painting a picture of the suspect as a lone figure wearing all-black or mostly black clothing. The motives behind these attacks remain unclear, with investigators now urging anyone with information to come forward.
