The New York Police Department is searching for a suspect who assaulted 90-year-old astrophysics professor CG Wang, leaving him with severe injuries. Wang, a frail and visually impaired man, was traveling on a southbound F train in Midtown Manhattan on October 6, 2026. Around 1:00 p.m., at the Lexington Avenue and 53rd Street station, Wang attempted to exit the car to use the escalator. He asked a man to move so he could pass, but the individual violently shoved him. Wang described the force of the push as causing him to fly out of the train, falling onto his hip, shoulder, and head. The impact was so severe that Wang required a hip replacement surgery and is currently in recovery. This marks the first time in his life that Wang has been hospitalized for personal injuries or experienced a serious attack. His son, Juin Wang, expressed outrage at the brutality of the crime, questioning who would assault an elderly, visually impaired man. The NYPD has released a photograph of the suspect and is urging the public to come forward with any information. An agency spokesperson confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and the suspect remains at large. There are no further updates regarding an arrest. The incident highlights the vulnerability of elderly commuters in the city's transit system. Authorities are asking anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information about the assault to contact the NYPD. The attack occurred at a busy Midtown station, and witnesses or individuals with relevant surveillance footage are encouraged to assist law enforcement in identifying the man responsible for the assault.
