A man was stabbed in a Bronx train station early Sunday, mere hours after congestion pricing went into effect, forcing more New Yorkers into the increasingly violent subway system. Police were unclear about the motive or prior relationship between the victim and attacker.
The incident comes amid days of disturbing violence on New York City subways, including the horrifying arson death of 57-year-old Debrina Kawam, allegedly set ablaze by illegal migrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, who faces first-degree murder charges.
There were at least five attacks following Kawam's death, including the stabbing of an MTA staffer at the Pelham Parkway station and various incidents across multiple subway locations that week.
The rise in subway violence has led to the Guardian Angels resuming patrols in the subway system, highlighting the community's concern for safety amid increasing attacks on commuters.
