MANHATTAN — A man was attacked by a couple pushing a child in a stroller at the City Hall subway station on Centre Street, according to the NYPD.

The 37-year-old man got into an argument with the couple on the southbound 4, 5 and 6 platform on Jan. 13 at about 5:55 p.m., police said.

The male suspect, who was wearing a black Pelle Pelle jacket, pulled out a box cutter, threatened the victim and then swung the blade at him.

The victim was not seriously injured and refused medical attention at the scene, according to police.

The male suspect is about 5-foot-6, with long hair in a ponytail, investigators said.

The woman was seen pushing the child in the stroller and was last seen wearing a green jacket with a fur hood.

It was not immediately clear what sparked the dispute, an NYPD spokesman said.
