$2,500 Reward Offered For Stabber Who Called Victim 'Black B----'

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Police are offering a $2,500 reward to anyone who can help them track down the subway attacker who called his victim a "black b----" before puncturing her lung.

Flatbush was papered with wanted fliers almost a week after Anne Marie Washington, 57, was stabbed in the back inside the Church Avenue station at about 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 9, police said.

The notices appeared after politicians rallied to question why the suspect was allowed to escape while the woman he attacked was forced to walk home with a punctured lung.

Police updated their description of the suspect to include that he is about 25-years old with brown hair who stands about 5-feet 5-inches tall.

According to wanted posters, he was last seen wearing a black sweater with red writing and black sweatpants with red zippers on the pockets.

The NYPD Hate Crime Taskforce is investigating the crime as a felony assault despite Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams' demand that the attacker be charged with attempted homicide.

Police have not yet released a photo of the suspect.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police
