An 18-year-old named Antonio Romero was apprehended on Tuesday for slashing a 17-year-old girl in the face at a Bronx train station last month. The assault transpired after she had issues with his brother on social media. Romero admitted to officials that he targeted her due to this conflict that occurred on social media, according to the New York Post. 

Per a complain, he said, “I approached her, she had her hand in her pocket so I got nervous and took out my knife from my pocket I keep for protection and sliced her in the face.” 

Medics transported the injured teen to Harlem Hospital, where she received several stitches on her left cheekbone and mouth. Officials released surveillance footage showing the suspect using a subway emergency exit. When officers showed Romero the image, he admitted that it was him in the picture. He currently face charges including assault and weapon possession.
