A man was bloodied following a brutal attack on a Midtown subway platform in New York City on Friday afternoon.
An MTA spokesperson said that the fight broke out between two men around 3.20pm on the northbound platform of the 49th Street station, which serves the city's N and R trains.
The victim suffered obvious injuries to his head and was pictured sitting on the train station floor with bandages covering his eyes and forehead.
Officials said the man, whose jacket was splattered with blood, was taken to Bellevue Hospital. He held onto a red bandana as he was placed into the ambulance on a stretcher.

The attack comes just two days after a Columbia University doctoral student was knifed to death near the Ivy League college's historic Manhattan campus - one of three people attacked by an 'ecstatic' gang member on a violent stabbing spree.
Davide Giri, 30, a PhD candidate in computer science, died around 11pm after being stabbed in the stomach by a 25-year-old member of the Bloods gang off-shoot, Everybody Killas, who has 16 prior arrests dating back to 2012 and was out on parole for a 2015 gang assault, police said.

Thursday's fatal stabbing of Giri took place just a block away from where
