Two Slashed in Christmas Eve Attacks at NYC's Grand Central Station

A man wielding a knife injured two commuters in unprovoked attacks before being apprehended by police at the scene.

Jason Sargeant, 28, was arrested after slashing a 42-year-old man in the wrist and a 26-year-old woman in the neck at Grand Central Station on Christmas Eve.
Both victims were hospitalized in stable condition, with the male victim suffering significant blood loss and potential nerve damage.
The attacks occurred around 10:15 p.m., with Sargeant reportedly yelling obscenities before targeting the victims in separate incidents within the station.
Witnesses alerted police, who apprehended Sargeant at the scene and recovered a bloody knife; he has been charged with multiple counts, including assault and reckless endangerment.
The incident has intensified concerns about subway safety, with calls for increased police presence and mental health interventions in New York City's transit system.
