New York Subway Attack: Suspects in Neon Green Leotards Identified After Assaulting Women

Four ladies have been accused of attacking two other people while wearing neon green full-body jumpsuits on the NYC subway.

The New York Post claimed that two 19-year-old women were brutally assaulted on a Times Square subway train by a group known as the 'Green Goblin Gang,' which included 34-year-old Emily Soto and 26-year-olds Mairam Cisse Issouf, Ciante Alston, and Dariana Pegueroa. Four further suspects have not had their identities made public.

On October 2, when the victims were celebrating their birthdays, their bags and cellphones were also taken. The defendants had each been arrested at least 15 times, according to NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig, who stated this during a press conference on Friday. With nine prior arrests, Peguero has the most, while Alston has only three.

Issouf has one prior arrest, while Soto has two prior detentions. According to Essig, the argument started on the metro platform and moved into the subway vehicle. According to the mother, one of the perpetrators ran into the victims as they were waiting to board the train.

One of the victims was visiting her family after college while in the city. Although she was due back at school on October 3, she is still recovering from her wounds and was recently in tremendous pain, according to her mother.

She claimed her daughter was left with numerous bruises and a bite mark that showed through her clothes. Calling NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS is the best way for those with knowledge about the attack to come forward, as per The Independent.

None of the other suspects have been named. Essig claims that each of the four belongs to the Queensbridge Houses public housing project. He claimed that each of them has a criminal record. One victim's mother called what happened on the train extremely awful, and she insisted that the group in green "must be held accountable," according to Fox News.

NY Subway Crimes

Following many stabbings over the past week, there are safety worries on the metro. On Saturday, the most recent attack took place. Six guys who attacked the 17-year-old youngster while donning black hooded sweatshirts and surgical masks need to be identified, according to police.

On Saturday afternoon, as the victim waited for the No. 6 train at East 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue station, a group of guys started hitting and kicking him in the head and body. The adolescent was then repeatedly stabbed by one suspect, according to authorities.

To combat organized crime, authorities were attempting to launch the attack. According to NYPD statistics, transit crime is up 41% from this time last year, while felony assaults are up almost 17%. Just on Thursday, three victims of different subway stabbings were stabbed. Saquan Lemons, 27, has been detained by police and is accused of killing Charles Moore, 38, at the station at 176th Street and Jerome Avenue.

Moore was allegedly attacked in the back and chest by Lemons as he approached him with a huge knife when Moore was off a northbound 4 train, according to police. The 17-year-old who was attacked, according to the police, required many stitches but is expected to recover completely, CBS News reported.
