Stabbed on the subway

I planned to go shopping with my friend in Brooklyn. Around 7 pm, I was on the A train approaching the Hoyt Schermerhorn station when a stranger suddenly came up to me and stabbed me in the face and neck. Other passengers helped me and kicked him out. He tried to re-enter the subway car but was eventually arrested on the scene by NYPD officers. I was sent to ER by an ambulance and got 20 stitches on my face, neck and hand. Thank god it is not too severe and just lacerations, and I was able to go home that night.
