A man brandished a knife and threatened to stab a fellow straphanger inside the Roosevelt Avenue subway station earlier this month.

The suspect and a 26-year-old man got into a verbal dispute inside the station on the E line on Jan. 3 at 4:30 p.m. He then took out a knife and threatened the 26-year-old with it, police said.

The suspect man is wanted for questioning. He is described as 20 to 30 years old and was last seen wearing a black, white and gray jacket and dark pants.
