According to authorities, two suspects assaulted the victim.
The events occurred around 1:00 am on Saturday.
In a third incident a man was beaten by a suspect who fled the scene.
The incident was reported at a subway station on the G line in Brooklyn.

Between March and April of this year 178 incidents have occurred in the transport systeman increase of 14 percent over the same period in 2022.
