A visitor from Texas was unexpectedly assaulted by an unknown individual during his family's inaugural visit to New York City. The incident occurred on June 20 at approximately 8:30 p.m. as the family awaited the train on the northbound platform at the 59th and Lexington Avenue subway station. At that moment, a stranger approached 41-year-old Veynu Narasiman and struck him in the face.
The radiology report indicated that the victim sustained multiple fractures in the facial region, including a midline fracture located behind the nose, resulting in a total of 12 broken bones in the face.
"Still a little bit shocked about the randomness and craziness of what happened," Narasiman said.
The victim's wife, Regina Koshy, said it was their kids' first time visiting New York and they were terrified.
"I saw him and I actually yelled at him, I said 'hey, what are you doing?' He turned and he looked at me and so I got a good look at his face and then he continued walking," Koshy said.
"He was bleeding profusely from both nostrils and he was spitting out blood and the right side of his face was all swollen," Koshy said.
There have been no arrests thus far, and the investigation remains active.
"I think that he needs mental help and I hope he doesn't do this to another person," Koshy said.
