QUEENS - New photos of a suspect wanted in the slashing of a woman at the Queens Plaza subway station have been released by the NYPD. 

At around 11:45 pm on May 10, a 22-year-old woman was riding the southbound E-Train approaching the Queens Plaza station. Cops said a man in a baseball cap approached her, and, without warning, slashed the woman in the left leg, causing a deep bleeding cut. 

The man exited the train at the station. 

EMS rushed the victim to New York-Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Medical Center where she was treated and listed in stable condition. 

The suspect is described as a male with a light complexion. He was last seen wearing a gray t-shirt with writing across the chest. He also wore jeans and a white or beige baseball cap. He also had a large red duffle bag across his back.
