“I definitely want him [the suspect] caught,” the victim’s brother, Jay Kifayeh, 33, told The Post following the assault. “Violence is not a way to deal with anything.”

Nedal Kifayeh – a waiter at a wedding hall who lives with his mom and brothers – was standing on the southbound platform at the Bay Ridge Avenue subway station around 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 17 when another man bladed him, police said.
