The Good Samaritan who was stabbed while coming to the aid of a woman at a Bronx subway station this week is a Marine Corps veteran who urged city officials to do something about crime — and “if not, the vigilantes will come out,” he said Friday.
Alfredo Troche, 53 told The Post that when he saw two men threatening a woman with a box cutter at the Pelham Parkway Nos. 2 and 5 train station in Allerton around 12:50 a.m. Thursday, his military training compelled him to step in.
Troche – who on Friday wore a leather motorcycle vest with a Batman logo on the back and a Batman patch – said he was returning to the Bronx after visiting his dad in Williamsburg, Brooklyn when he walked right into the startling scene.
