6 years later, knifed by same man: cops

THE VICTIM of a razor attack in a Brooklyn subway station was slashed by the same assailant six years ago, police sources said Wednesday.

The 27-year-old victim told cops he was entering the Nevin St. station about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday when a man tried to sell him a swipe. He recognized the man as the person who slashed him in 2011. Words were exchanged, followed by a fistfight.

Just like old times, his 29-year-old nemesis whipped out a box cutter and slashed the victim on the right side of his face from his chin to his ear, causing the stunned victim to drop his cell phone.

The attacker snatched the phone and ran out of the subway station. He jumped into a dollar van outside the station — but threw the victim’s cell into the street. The victim followed him, saw the phone lying in the street, grabbed it and called 911.

The victim, identified by sources as a member of a Crips set, was taken to New York Methodist Hospital, where his gash closed with 20 stitches.
