A 20-year-old Yeshiva University student was beaten by a group of masked attackers Thursday night inside a Washington Heights subway station, according to police and university officials.

Officers responded shortly after 7 p.m. to a 911 report of an assault at the 1 train station located at West 181st Street and St. Nicholas Avenue, the NYPD said.

Police said four unidentified individuals punched and kicked the student, who attends the private Jewish university. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin, a clinical assistant professor of Jewish values at Yeshiva’s Sy Syms School of Business, also confirmed details of the attack.

“A Yeshiva University student was violently assaulted tonight by a gang of masked thugs,” Bashevkin wrote in a post on X.

“This is beyond frightening for a visibly Jewish community in NYC,” he said.

Authorities said the victim was transported to Columbia University Irving Medical Center and was listed in stable condition.

University officials indicated that investigators do not believe the assault was bias-related.

“This evening at approximately 7 p.m., one of our students was assaulted in an unbiased attempted robbery off campus in the subway station at 181st Street,” a Yeshiva University spokesperson told The Post in a statement. “He is back on campus in good condition.

“YU Security is aware of the incident and is coordinating with law enforcement authorities.”

As of late Thursday, no suspects had been taken into custody. Police said the case remains under active investigation.
