Police are searching for two men wanted for allegedly stabbing a passenger on the E Train in Kew Gardens on May 20.
Just after 4 a.m., a 21-year-old man was riding the E Train toward Manhattan.
As the subway approached the Union Turnpike station, he and two other passengers got into an argument.
That’s when he was stabbed in the right side of his torso, police said. He survived and was transported to Jamaica Hospital in stable condition, but the two men he was arguing with fled from the station.
Police are looking for two black men between 25 and 30 years of age. One is about 5 feet 7 inches tall with tattoos on both arms. The other is about 5 feet 10 inches tall with dreadlocks.
Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
