A 17-year-old boy was choked by a stranger and knocked unconscious during a clash on board a Queens train, police said this week.
The teen was riding a Manhattan-bound A train that had stopped at the Far Rockaway station around 3:50 p.m. Nov. 9 when the man approached him and the two got into a heated dispute, cops said.
The suspect — believed to be between 30 and 40 years old — choked the teen, causing him to lose consciousness, authorities said.
The victim managed to get off the train, but his attacker stayed on board and hadn’t been caught by Wednesday.
The teen was hospitalized in stable condition with minor injuries, cops said.
The suspect, shown in a photo released by the NYPD Tuesday evening, is described as bald with a light complexion.
He was last seen wearing a yellow shirt and orange boots.
