A Yeshiva University student was attacked by six to eight masked assailants in a subway station in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood, according to a faculty member at the university.
The student “was violently assaulted tonight by a gang of masked thugs” in the “blind spot of the subway station where there are no police or security cameras,” stated Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin, clinical assistant professor of Jewish values at Yeshiva’s Sy Syms School of Business.
The attack occurred at the 1 train station on 181st Street, according to Bashevkin, who said that the student is recovering in the hospital.
