UPPER EAST SIDE, Manhattan – Police are investigating another attack on the New York City subway system.

A man was hospitalized after he was mugged on a subway train on the Upper East Side.

He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Cornell Hospital in stable condition.

Akeem Loney, 32, a rising soccer shop who also happened to be a homeless man, was sleeping when someone stabbed him in the neck without provocation.

His former coach spoke to Eyewitness News.

“It’s impossible to imagine,” Reed Fox said. “I’ve been sick to my stomach thinking about it.”

“You have to do something because no one deserves to die,” said Passengers United’s Talea Wufka. “This is the largest city on Earth and we have to return it to what it was.”

The MTA insists that crime is at its lowest point in 25 years. But in recent months the numbers have been increasing.
