A New York City man is wanted in connection with two unprovoked stabbings on the subway that occurred within a 24-hour period, authorities said Saturday.
Donny Ubiera, 32, of Queens, allegedly brandished a large knife and slashed a 62-year-old man on his face and right hand onboard a southbound 7 train around 8:40 a.m. on Friday, police said.

Ubiera again fled the scene in an unknown direction. Authorities recovered a knife at the scene.
