A violent incident occurred on a northbound 5 train in the Bronx early Sunday morning, where a 25-year-old male passenger was stabbed multiple times by an unidentified assailant. The victim was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in critical but stable condition. Law enforcement described the suspect as a male with a dark complexion who fled the scene in dark clothing. This incident adds to a troubling trend of violence in New York City's subway system, which has seen a spike in murders and assaults over recent years.
The suspect was last seen wearing a red sweatshirt, black vest, dark pants and dark shoes. Police said they have not yet identified him yet but that the investigation remains underway.
The stabbing closely follows a violent year for the city's subway system - 2024 tying 2022 for the most murders in 25 years - with 10 straphangers murdered.
