Subway Performer Attacked in Herald Square, Assailant Apprehended

A female assailant has been taken into custody after assaulting a medical student who is also known for his performances as an electric cellist under the moniker Eyeglasses. The unsettling incident took place at the bustling Herald Square subway station and was recorded on video. This confrontation happened on February 13 and sadly was not the first of its kind for the performer.

Violent Encounter Disrupts Music in the Subway

The violent encounter has led to a significant decision by Eyeglasses. The musician has chosen to indefinitely suspend his performances in the subway system. This step was announced via Instagram, much to the dismay of his fans and fellow commuters. With a history of nearly ten years of playing music for the passengers of New York's underground transport, this decision underscores the severity of the situation.

Advocating for Safer Performance Spaces

As an advocate for musicians' safety, Eyeglasses insists that assaults like the one he suffered should be diligently tracked and reported. He believes that such measures could be instrumental in preventing similar assaults on artists who perform in the subway stations. Eyeglasses is no stranger to larger venues, having entertained audiences at notable locations such as Madison Square Garden in addition to his subway stage.
