NYC Subway Cellist Quits After Metal Bottle Attack

Iain Forrest, a medical student and musician, was attacked in the New York City subway while playing his electric cello, prompting him to form the Subway Performers Advocacy Group (SPAG) and suspend his subway performances indefinitely. This marks the second attack he has endured while performing in the subway in less than a year. Forrest is calling for better tracking of crimes against subway musicians and seeking systemic changes to protect performers.
