The victim was rushed to an area hospital while three male suspects fled on a Queens-bound train, police said.

Subway safety has become a key concern for state and city officials, but Mayor Eric Adams said subway crime remains low despite some flashy incidents. With about 4 million daily riders, there are an average of 6 felonies per day, Adams said.
