NEW YORK (WABC) -- Police are searching for a man who has been attacking subway riders on trains on platforms.

He is believed responsible for three robberies and one attempted robbery within the past ten days.

The most recent was Wednesday on the southbound A train at West 110th Street and Cathedral Parkway, where a rider was assaulted, robbed, and left hospitalized with facial injuries.

In each case, police say the suspect approaches a male victim, asks for the time, and assaults them as they provide the time.
