BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — An argument between strangers on the A Train last Friday night turned violent when an unidentified woman in oversized sunglasses pulled out a “sharp object” and threatened to injure other passengers with it, according to the NYPD.

The below video of the incident — uploaded to YouTube and re-posted by Gothamist — shows the suspect arguing with a man and a woman on the train, then lunging at them with the object in her hand.

“Do you want a clue of what’s going to happen when I get off this train?” she asks. “I’m going to cut you, and I’m going to get away with it.”

“Now if you say one more word, this is going to end very badly,” she continues. “Do you understand? DO YOU UNDERSTAND?”

The passengers then begin to scuffle, during which time the victims each sustained “a small laceration about their face,” according to the NYPD.

The assault allegedly took place around 7 p.m. as the A Train was heading south toward the Jay Street-MetroTech subway station in Downtown Brooklyn.

Both victims refused medical attention when they stepped off the train at the Nostrand Avenue station in Bed-Stuy, the NYPD said, and ”the suspect the fled to parts unknown.”

The woman with the sharp object is believed to be around six feet tall and 180 pounds. She was last seen wearing “a black sheer blouse, black pants, black shoes, yellow coat and a red purse,” police said.

A couple nights earlier, another man riding the A Train was slashed in the neck as he disembarked at the Nostrand Avenue station. He told reporters that his attacker disappeared into a subway tunnel after the slashing.
