On Christmas Eve 2024, a man named Jason Sargeant was indicted after allegedly slashing two people during a violent spree at Grand Central Station. He began his attack on the subway platform and continued on the mezzanine, causing severe injuries to a man and woman. Despite his alarming behavior, he was apprehended by MTA police before he could inflict more harm. The District Attorney emphasized the need for safety in busy areas like Grand Central, especially during the holiday season, and assured that violence would not be tolerated.
"As alleged, Jason Sargeant attacked two people in the Grand Central Subway Station without provocation on Christmas Eve. Millions of New Yorkers and tourists alike visit Manhattan over the holidays and must be safe when doing so."
"Prosecutors said the suspect then allegedly climbed the stairs to the mezzanine, where a 42-year-old man was sitting waiting for his girlfriend, and slashed the bystander's wrist, causing a large laceration and profuse bleeding."
