Transgender man says he was assaulted, robbed on subway
A transgender man told cops he was assaulted and robbed of his pocketbook on a Manhattan subway New Year’s Day, police sources said.
The 36-year-old man said his attackers struck while he was riding an E train about 5:17 p.m. They beat him up and took his bag, he told cops, according to sources.
The man was found unconscious near 23rd Street and Eighth Avenue. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police sources said it doesn’t appear to be a hate crime.
