Police are on the prowl for two male perpetrators they suspect of assaulting and attempting to rob two straphangers inside a Bronx subway station using a machete on Sunday.
The NYPD says the altercation unfolded inside the West Farms Square-East Tremont Avenue 2 and 5 train station, located within the 48th Precinct and Transit District 12, at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 7.
Cops say one of the suspected perpetrators attacked one of the victims, a 44-year-old, with a machete, hitting him on the left wrist and right leg. The other perpetrator then punched the other victim, a 32-year-old, in the face and attempted to take his cellphone from his pocket, but ultimately was not able to.
Both suspected assailants then fled the scene in a blue Honda Element with Pennsylvania license plates, reading KLM772
