🌱 Woman Attacked On Subway + NY Primary Elections + Subway Surfers

Hello all. I'm back in your inbox this morning with all the most important things happening in town these days.

First, today's weather:

Low humidity with sunshine. High: 83 Low: 70.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Queens who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Queens Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Queens today:

1. A woman had her jaw broken by an attacker on the subway. According to police, the man walked up to the woman and punched her in the face, breaking her jaw. The attack happened about the southbound 7 train near the Hunters Point Avenue station early on Sunday. Police say there was no exchange between the two prior to the attack, and the suspect ran off. See a photo of the suspect at the link to see if you can identify him. (NBC New York)
2. The results for yesterday's primary election results are being reported live by NPR. Primary elections for governor and lieutenant governor took place yesterday. Click the link to see the latest numbers. (NPR)
3. It's not a phone game, it's a very dangerous real-life activity. A 15-year-old and a 12-year-old are the latest to be injured in subway surfing incidents, according to the NYPD Chief of Transit. Deaths due to the activity have occurred in 2021, 2019, 2017, and 2016. NYC Transit President Richard Davey asks people to "Please, please do something else with your time." (PIX11 New York News)
