BROOKLYN — A pair of homeless people with 37 arrests between them was arrested more than two weeks after they beat and cut a man in the Prospect Park subway station, police said.
Fitzroy Rochester, 25, got into an argument with a 21-year-old man inside the station, near Lincoln Road and Ocean Avenue, about 5:15 a.m. on Oct. 2 before slugging him in the face, an NYPD spokesman said.
Then Latifah Carmichael, 32, came up behind the man and slashed his head, face, chest and hands, the spokesman said.
The pair fled the scene and weren't arrested until Thursday. They were charged with assault and robbery and had not been arraigned as of Friday morning, records show.
It's unclear how they knew each other.
Rochester has been arrested 33 times since 2007, police said.
He was most recently arrested in September for grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and unlawful possession of marijuana, police said.
Carmichael has been arrested four times since 2010, police said.
She was most recently arrested on Jan. 19, 2015, for assault, police said.
