Three people were stabbed in separate attacks in and around Big Apple subway stations on Monday, as The Post revealed in a report how transit crime has become increasingly violent.
In one attack, a female attacker knifed another woman in the back with an “unknown object” by the turnstile area at the Franklin Avenue C train station in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 11:40 a.m., cops said.
The injured woman was taken to a local hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
Her attacker fled the station on foot, police said.
On the Upper West Side just after 8 a.m., a 26-year-old man was stabbed in the buttocks in an unprovoked attack at West 96th Street and Broadway, police said.
The attack happened steps from the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 subway station — with video showing a cordoned-off crime scene outside a T-Mobile store.
The assailant took off, cops said.
In Brooklyn around 4:30 a.m., a 52-year-old man was stabbed multiple times in the back during a feud over smoking inside the Kosciuszko Street J train station, authorities said.
The alleged stabber fled out onto the street, where he was quickly taken into custody, with charges pending, police said.
It was unclear who exactly has been smoking inside the station, prompting the outburst of violence.
A recent analysis by The Post revealed that the number of attacks on trains that left victims injured jumped 53% when comparing 2023’s 570 felony assaults to the 373 reported in 2019.
Those 200 extra felony assaults meant that attacks resulting in substantial injury accounted for 25% of 2,285 major crimes reported on trains and in stations in 2023, compared to just 15% of the 2,499 major crimes in 2019, the data show.
