The incident, caught on video, has led Forrest to suspend his subway performances indefinitely. The Metropolitan Transit Authority condemned the attack, and police are searching for the perpetrator. Forrest, known as "Eyeglasses," is a member of the MTA's Music Under New York program and is completing his MD-PhD studies at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine.
