A dispute inside the Main Street train station led to an assault that left one man unconscious.
Police say that on Sunday, January 22, at approximately 1:50 p.m., a 43-year-old man was standing in line to add money to his MetroCard.
He stepped off the line to check the balance of his card using the self-service swipe balance-checking device.
When he tried to resume his position on line, he got into an argument with two unidentified men.
The men pushed the victim toward the station stairs, then brutally beat him until he was unconscious, authorities say.
The suspects then fled the subway station.
The victim suffered lacerations to his face. He was taken by EMS to New York Presbyterian-Queens.
