A 59-year-old subway rider got punched in the face by a passenger yesterday while the train was at the M/R Northern Boulevard station, police said.

The victim was seated on the Manhattan-bound train at about 6:55 a.m. when the suspect boarded, sat down beside him and bumped into the 59-year-old’s legs.

The victim then asked the suspect to move his legs but was punched in the face. The punch left him with a laceration to his nose and his eye glasses were broken. The suspect remained on the train.

The suspect is described as a white Hispanic, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and approximately 150 pounds.

A photo of the suspect was taken shortly after the assault, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Don’t you people have anything better to do, do you just wait impatiently to see what this site will post and then rush to your keyboards to post nonsense like these? Or do you actually hang out at corner bodega and make senseless comments like this and annoy everyone around you, oh wait you can’t do that because it’s real life.

The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
