Cops are hunting for three train commuters who stabbed a good Samaritan trying to stop them from harassing another straphanger at a Queens subway stop, police said Friday.
Police have released surveillance images of the three suspects in the hopes that someone recognizes them.
The 35-year-old victim was waiting on the No. 7 train platform at the Roosevelt Ave-82nd St. subway station in Jackson Heights at about 5:10 a.m. on Thursday when he saw the three suspects harassing another commuter.
The victim yelled out, demanding they leave the other person alone when the suspects stormed over and started yelling at him, police said.
As they argued, one of the suspects pulled a sharp object and jammed it into the victim’s gut twice before all three ran out of the station.
EMS rushed the victim to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was treated for a minor injury.
