BROOKLYN - An MTA conductor on a southbound A train inside a Brooklyn subway station was slashed in the neck when he stuck his head out of the cabin window, the NYPD said.

The incident happened Thursday shortly after 3:30 a.m. at the Rockaway Avenue Station in Brownsville.

According to police, the 59-year-old conductor, identified as Alton Scott, was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he received 34 stitches to the gaping wound.

"This is attempted murder," said TWU Local 100 Union President Richard Davis. "The wound on Mr. Scott's neck is too close to his carotid artery. We're at a breaking point where we can't do our jobs safely. The city is in crisis, and the target is on our backs.
