Rowdy group of eight women stab Manhattan subway rider after he makes wisecrack
Ralph Carnegary, who lives in a veterans shelter in Long Island City, Queens, was on his way to work as a souvenir vendor on Wall St. 'I couldn’t identify the girl who stabbed me. All my attention was on the knife coming at me,' Carnegary told the Daily News Sunday night.
A group of teens that stabbed a man on a number 6 train in Manhattan early Sunday morning are walked out of the Union Square Police Station.
A 63-year-old Vietnam veteran from Queens was stabbed on a Manhattan subway train Sunday after making a sarcastic comment about a rowdy gang of eight girls and young women, cops said.
Ralph Carnegary of Queens said the raucous riders were being so loud “you couldn’t hear yourself think” as their downtown-bound 6 train neared the 23rd St. station about 6 a.m, officials said.
Carnegary, who lives in a veterans shelter in Long Island City, was on his way to work as a souvenir vendor on Wall St. “I couldn’t identify the girl who stabbed me. All my attention was on the knife coming at me,” Carnegary told the Daily News Sunday night.
He said the girls turned on him after they overheard him talking to his pal, James Santiago, about how noisy they were.
“I just said, ‘Those girls must be retarded because they can’t hear each other talk,’” Carnegary recalled.

Within a second, the furious gals, whose ages range from 15 to 20, went berserk and started pummeling Carnegary with their fists.
He was trying to block the blows when he heard another girl yell, “Go for him” and a third girl say, “Cut him.”
One of his attackers plunged a knife into Carnegary’s left shoulder, leaving a wound that required seven stitches.
“I didn’t think they were actually going to knife me. The oldest one didn’t look no more than 18 or 19. I couldn’t believe they did that,” he said.

Santiago, 46 a former Marine who also lives in the shelter, said he jumped in to defend Carnegary when he saw two of the women charge his friend from behind.
“I feel like I owe my life to this guy right here,” Carnegary said of Santiago.
Carnegary’s wife, Connie, 50, was outraged by the attack. “It’s terrible,” she said. “You can’t even ride the train. You can’t even go to work in the morning.”
The wife lives separately from her husband in East New York, Brooklyn, but said the couple is hoping to find housing together soon.
The wild group was taken into custody at the station, where a knife was recovered. All are charged with gang assault, assault, menacing, rioting, criminal possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.
Police arrested Shanice Brown, 20; Kimberly Molina, 20; Starmeik Driggins, 19, and Sheyla Figueroa, 18, all of Brooklyn; Martha Bermudez, 17, and Sha-steva Burdos, 17, both of Queens, and Michelle Rodriguez, 19, of the Bronx.
A 15-year-old Queens girl was also arrested, but her name was not released because she is a juvenile.
As the shameless suspects were led out of the Union Square transit police station Sunday evening, they unleashed an obscene tirade.
Several of them flashed gang signs, flipped their middle fingers at photographers and shouted curses. Others hid their faces in shame.

Drunken gang of girls in subway stab attack: cops
A wolf pack of drunken young women “acting stupid” on a downtown No. 6 train in Manhattan stabbed a 63-year-old man early today — for having had the nerve to ask them to pipe down, police said.
The man was on his way to work at about 6:15 a.m. when he was attacked as the train entered the East 23rd Street station, a law-enforcement source told The Post.
“The eight females were acting stupid. He just told them, ‘Relax. Calm down,’ ” another source said.
Instead, one stabbed him in the left shoulder. He was treated at Bellevue Hospital.
The women were arrested as they exited the 23rd Street subway station near Gramer¬cy Park. Seven of them, ages 17 to 20, were charged with gang assault, disorderly conduct, riot¬ing, criminal possession of a weapon, menacing, and felony assault. A 15-year-old girl was not charged. Cops added that they recovered a knife.
A city bus driver who witnessed their arrest said the women, beers in hand, were yelling, “We didn’t do anything!” as they were being cuffed.
The suspects were dentified as Shanice Brown, 20, Starmeik Driggins, 19, Kimberly Molina, 20 and Sheyla Figueroa, 18, all from Brooklyn; Michelle Rodriguez, 19, from the Bronx; and Martha Bermudez, 17, and Sha-fteva Burdos, 17, from Queens.
