A Richmond Hill man is criminally charged with attempted murder for an unprovoked stabbing of a 7 train rider at the Mets-Willets Point subway station in Corona on the night of Sunday, Sept. 21.

Luis Pallchisaca, 21, of 112th Street, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Criminal Court on a criminal complaint charging him with attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.

According to the charges and investigation, at around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 21, Pallchisaca was inside a 7 train at the station when a 25-year-old man entered the subway car. Pallchisaca approached the victim from the front, slashed his throat and then stabbed him in the back multiple times with what appeared to be a knife. He then fled the train.
