A Queens man who was stabbed on a New York City subway train over his iPhone lashed out at fellow passengers, saying “nobody helped me.”

Efrain Guaman, 33, told the New York Post: “I asked for help. They all ran because they were scared.” He was stabbed in the stomach by the assailant, who took his phone before exiting the train at the Atlantic Avenue stop in Brooklyn.

Guaman, a single father who works at an electronic store, pulled the emergency lever on the subway car to stop it. He said no one on the train helped him after the Friday incident.
