Five minutes later, the suspect allegedly pulled a knife on a 21-year-old man at the Bleecker Street 6 train station.
Police said that victim fought back and suffered a cut on the hand.
The suspect fled the scene emptyhanded, heading south on Lafayette Street.
The victim followed him out of the station and recorded a video to turn over to police.
