Overview
- Police reported two Saturday cases in Midtown: a 38-year-old stabbed on a southbound 6 train at Grand Central and a 15-year-old slashed at the 42nd Street ACE stop, with both victims in stable condition.
- A separate early-Saturday assault on a Queens R train left a 40-year-old man with multiple stab wounds after an argument, and police released surveillance images of the suspect.
- On Friday, a 23-year-old was stabbed in the back on the 96th Street–Broadway No. 1 platform after a dispute, and officers recovered a knife at the scene.
- Earlier this month, a 45-year-old man was stabbed on the L platform at Union Square during a dispute, and the attacker fled, police said.
- Investigators have not said the incidents are linked, and the governor says subway crime is at a 16-year low with $77 million committed to keep NYPD officers in the system in 2026.
