Teen victim in NYC subway slash spree says creep stared her down, left her needing 19 stitches

A teen victim of a knife-wielding maniac who slashed three innocent women in the subways on Sunday said the creep stared her down before the attack — and now the lifelong New Yorker is terrified to ride the rails again.

Bianchelly Diplan, 19, was on her way to pick up a Father’s Day cake when she was slashed at the 86th Street stop in Manhattan — so deeply that doctors gave her 19 stitches to close the gash, she said.

“I noticed him staring at me,” Diplan told The Post at her Bronx home on Monday. “He was staring at me [from 125th Street] until 86th Street, so a good four or five minutes.

“I just felt a little weird, a little tense,” she continued.

“He seemed a little off. Just the way he walked, his body language was off. You know when you have that gut feeling? He seemed off.”

Diplan said she got off the train at 86th Street and Lexington Avenue and began walking up the station steps to pick up the cake at Paris Baguette — with the slasher tailing her.

“I was walking up the stairs when he cut me on the back of my right leg,” she said. “I didn’t know he was behind me on the stairs. I felt the cut. It felt like somebody cut me deeply.

“I looked back at him and he just stared at me then walked away. I just started crying. I was in shock. He didn’t say anything. He went back down the stairs and I could see he was walking on the platform.

“I saw the blade but I don’t remember it well,” she said. “It was a small knife.”

She said the attack — one of three by the same creep in under 20 minutes on Sunday afternoon — left her with a wound that required eight internal and 11 external stitches.

It also leℱft her fearing the subways for the first time in her life.

“I’m a New Yorker,” Diplan said.

“My whole life I’ve taken the train and [the] bus. I have always been aware but now I will be scared to take the train. I don’t know when I will get the train again.”

“There needs to be more police on the subway to keep people safe,” she added.

“There were no police at the station when I got hurt. There needs to be more police and more security cameras. I’m scared for other women and for kids, too. We don’t know what this man is capable of.”

According to police, Diplan was the first victim ꧅of the serial slasher, who remains on the loose.

A second victim, a 48-year-old, was also cut in the r𒅌ight leg at the 86th Street station around 4:15 p.m., around the time Diplan 🌄was also attacked, cops said.

The man then jumped on a southbound 4 train, where he slashed a 28-year-💃old woman as the car pulled into the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station shortly after 4:30 p.m., police said.

On Monday, the NYPD released surveillance footage of the suspect and said at a briefing that a “surge” of at least 80 more cops had been deployed into the subways following the attacks.

The sicko was last seen 🐠wearing a Boston Red Sox baseball cap and ♒a white T-shirt with an orange cartoon character on the front.

Meanwhile, Dipl🐟an said she now needs help toꦏ walk while she heals from her wounds.

“I can stand but I need my mom to help me walk,” she said.

“I got lucky — he just cut through my skin and fat. He didn’t get any arteries or nerves.”
