Yesterday was lived another violent day in the New York Subway, with a dead passenger hit by a train and another stabbed.
One person was run over by a train from the Line 7 at Grand Central yesterday morning, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Details about how the person was beaten were unclear, but police said no crime was suspected.
Officials also did not immediately release the identity of the victim. The MTA said shortly after 9:30 a.m. that the trains along Line 7 were running with long delays in both directions, after service was initially suspended between Manhattan and Queens, reported Pix11.
A hostile scene was later reported at another Midtown Manhattan station, when one passenger left another bleeding during a fight on a platform.
The altercation between the two men broke out around 3:20 p.m. on the northbound platform of the station. 49th street, It serves the N and R lines north of Times Square, an MTA spokesperson said.
The victim suffered a head trauma and was transported to Bellevue Hospital on a stretcher. His head was bloody and bandaged when he was removed from the scene, photos of New York Post. It is unclear if the attacker used any object against his victim.
In 2021 there have been several homicides and natural deaths in the New York subway, in addition to various incidents, some more serious than others. In May, the violence led then-Governor Andrew Cuomo to claim that the subway was not safe for children. Months before, in January, the interim president Feinberg, denounced in a letter sent to the mayor that NYC’s violence and “mental health crisis” were wreaking havoc on the transportation system. Since then the situation has not improved.
