At least 6 people were stabbed in New York City’s subway system over the weekend, with the first attacks unfolding just hours after a new plan to combat violence on public transit was unveiled, authorities say.
On Saturday, at least four incidents were reported, with one suspect accused of punching a 20-year-old woman in the back just before 3 p.m., according to police. A verbal dispute ensued, and the man allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the woman three times in the abdomen.
In another incident reported around 8:30 p.m. Saturday night, a 24-year-old man was alleged to have been stabbed in the leg with a boxcutter after two teens approached him and attempted to rob him. The suspects fled the scene, police said. New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveils a plan with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to make the subway system safer, at Fulton Street subway station in New York City on Friday.
