NYPD Officer Shoots Suspect Following Multiple Stabbings at Grand Central Subway Station
The suspect, described in some reports as carrying a machete, stabbed multiple individuals before being shot by a responding NYPD officer.
A mid-morning commute at Grand Central–42nd Street subway station turned chaotic when a knife-wielding man attacked passengers on the uptown 4, 5, and 6 train platform between 9:40 and 9:50 a.m. The suspect, described in some reports as carrying a machete, stabbed multiple individuals before being shot by a responding NYPD officer.
He was taken to the hospital under police custody. Among the victims were two to three passengers, reportedly elderly, who sustained stab wounds and were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where they remain in stable or guarded condition. In the aftermath, the MTA rerouted trains to bypass the station, while police cordoned off entrances with caution tape to secure the crime scene and conduct their investigation, leaving commuters to find alternate routes during the disruption.
