NEW YORK CITY — Add "human feces" to the weapons wielded by random attackers in New York City's subway system. A NYPD video released Monday shows a man smear excrement onto a woman, 43, who was waiting for a train at a Bronx subway station, police said. The man — who police look to identify — can be seen on the video carrying a plastic bag apparently filled with human waste. He approached the woman sitting on a bench and "struck her in the face & back of her head," the NYPD's official Twitter account tweeted. 🚨WANTED for an ASSAULT: On 2/21/22 at 5:15 PM, inside of the E. 241 St subway station in the Bronx, the suspect approached a 43-year-old woman sitting on the bench & struck her in the face & the back of her head with human feces. Any info? DM @NYPDTips, or call 800-577-TIPS. pic.twitter.com/8zCIHNMtgN— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) February 28, 2022 The stranger attack unfolded Feb. 21 at 5:15 p.m. in the East 241st Street station, authorities said. It's one of a spate of violent recent incidents — including the shoving death of Michelle Go — in the city's subway system. Mayor Eric Adams, from his campaign to Gracie Mansion, has pledged to tackle subway crime. But his high-profile efforts have been undercut by a continuing string of incidents — transit crime grew 65 percent Adams' first month in office.
