The 43-year-old victim was taken to the hospital in a stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery, while the attacker, who was wearing a Supreme beanie, is still on the run. Last month, a Goldman Sachs worker Daniel Enriquez was killed after being randomly shot in the head on his way to Sunday brunch. The attacker, Andrew Abdullah, had no motive and shot him in full view of other passengers before walking off the train at the next station. He remained on the run for days before he turned himself in with the help of a Brooklyn minister. And in April, subway shooter Frank James was on the run for two days despite being the most wanted man in the city.
