HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- Police have arrested a teen in a subway slashing in Harlem earlier this week.

Cherry was arrested after police officers recognized him from surveillance pictures.

When the officers got off a train at the 116th Street station Wednesday afternoon, they spotted Cherry sitting on a bench.
