Violent Stabbing on NYC Metro-North Train After Dispute Over Loud Music

A 31-year-old man was stabbed twice in the chest by a fellow passenger after complaining about loud music, marking the latest in a series of violent subway and train incidents in New York City.

Abdul Malik Little, 46, was arrested for attempted murder, assault, and weapon possession after allegedly stabbing a 31-year-old man on a Metro-North train arriving at Grand Central Terminal.
The altercation began when the victim asked Little to lower the volume of music playing from his phone, leading to a physical confrontation.
The victim, who sustained two stab wounds to the chest, was able to exit the train and alert patrolling MTA police officers, who arrested Little and recovered the weapon.
This incident follows a string of violent attacks in New York City's transit system, including stabbings, slashings, and a fatal arson attack in recent weeks.
The rise in transit violence has prompted the Guardian Angels, a volunteer anti-crime group, to resume subway patrols for the first time since 2020.
