A man was wounded in a slashing at a Brooklyn subway station Friday, but he managed to subdue his attacker and, with the help of fellow straphangers, hold him until police arrived, officials said.
The 46-year-old victim was slashed on his right hand on the platform at the Clark St. station in Brooklyn Heights around 8 p.m., according to law enforcement sources.
The victim had been riding a southbound No. 2 train with his wife when the suspect began harassing them, police said.
After the victim exited the train at the Clark St. station, the suspect followed him off and then attacked him on the platform, authorities reported.
The victim and other subway riders restrained the suspect on the platform until officers from the 84th Precinct arrived to take him into custody, according to law enforcement.
"He followed them off the train," an MTA worker told the Daily News at the scene. "He had a knife. He slashed one of them and they wrestled him to the floor."
The victim was taken to New York Downtown Hospital in stable condition.
Charges against the suspect were pending Friday night.
