   Three Manhattan straphangers were slashed in separate brazen subway   
   attacks Sunday — and cops are looking into whether the same maniac was   
   behind all of the attacks, sources said.   
      
   The first assault took place at around 4:20 p.m. on the Upper East Side   
   when two women — 19 and 48 years old — were both slashed in the legs at   
   the 86th Street and Lexington Avenue station, according to law enforcement   
   sources.   
      
   “The girl came up to my booth to call the cops,” an MTA worker at the   
   station said of one of the victims.   
      
   “She was crying. She didn’t know the person. She said the person just   
   walked up to her and slashed her for no reason. Then I got the police   
   here.”   
      
   About 15 minutes later, a 28-year-old woman was slashed in the 4 train   
   station at the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall station — with the gash so deep   
   that a tourniquet had to be applied to her leg.   
      
   The woman was rushed to Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening   
   injuries, the sources said.   
      
   Cops believe all of the incidents, which all occurred along the 4/5/6   
   lines, could be connected.   
      
   The Post reported Saturday that the number of people busted with illegal   
   knives in the subways in the five boroughs has jumped by 60% — 572 so far   
   this year compared to 358 over the same time in 2022.   
      
   Over the last four years, the number has jumped by 126%, police data   
   shows.
