NY Post
A straphanger was thumped in the back of the head with a metal object and another rider was whacked with an umbrella on Tuesday in the latest assaults in Big Apple subway stations.
In the first attack, a 34-year-old man was hit over the head with an unknown metal object in an unprovoked attack at the Grand Avenue-Newtown station in Queens around 12:50 p.m., police said.
He was on the stairs leaving the station when a male assailant came up from behind and launched the attack, according to cops.
The victim was taken to Queens Hospital Center with non-life-threatening injuries. No arrests have been made.
Hours later, a 61-year-old man was left bloodied in an assault at the 86th Street station on the Upper East Side.
That victim, David Beaglehole, said he was walking out the station around 4:30 p.m. when a male suspect jabbed him in the left hand with an umbrella after the two exchanged words.

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
