A police officer is in a medically induced coma after being attacked on a Manhattan subway platform while he was off duty, the NYPD said.
The 29-year-old officer was on the southbound platform at the 23rd Street stop on the 6 line Saturday evening when he was punched in the head by a man, police said. The officer fell down and hit his head on the platform; he was later placed in a medically induced coma at Bellevue Hospital Center.
Police released a sketch of the attacker, who they said was with his daughter on the platform. The NYPD is asking anyone with information to call 1-800-577-TIPS.
