Tucker slams leadership for allowing NYC to return to 'bad old days'
Crime rates surge in the city that never sleeps under left-wing mayor
A good Samaritan was bitten and choked on the D train at Columbus Circle Saturday, in the latest off-the-rails subway attack.
The suspect was harassing a passenger on the uptown train around 5 p.m. when another straphanger intervened, police said.
The attacker turned his ire on the 20-year-old do-gooder, and attacked him with his mouth and hands, according to the NYPD.
Police arrested the alleged attacker, who was identified by sources as 44-year-old Billy Torres, while the victim went to the hospital for treatment of his injuries, police said. No charges have been announced as of late Saturday.

The latest brazen attacks underground have MTA officials and many candidates for mayor calling on City Hall to beef up police presence in the subway.
