Many riders, who already have their guard up, are now further on guard.
"I'm vigilant because I have to be, this is New York," subway rider Erik Stewart said.
The first attack occurred around 2:30 a.m. in Brooklyn, where a male suspect threw a container of liquid at an MTA subway conductor who was on a northbound R train at the 77th Street station.
The conductor was taken to NYU Langone Hospital. No arrests have been made.
Just hours later in TriBeCa, a 29-year-old woman was stabbed by a man on a southbound C train near Chambers Street just after 8 a.m.
