The other was identified as 17-year-old Deon Hinnat of Newark.

One of the victims, a 23-year-old woman, hit her head on a metal bench at the 9th Street PATH station and had to be treated at Bellevue Hospital for a cut, the authority’s Joseph Pentangelo said this morning.

The other, also 23, refused medical attention after the 7 a.m. attack yesterday, he said.

Three hours later, “two of the suspects were seen by a witness on a street neat the PATH entrance,” Pentangelo said. “The PAPD was notified and took custody of the two.”

Both are charged with gang assault and assault, he said.

Two others remained at large this morning.
