Two teenage girls were stabbed inside Grand Central Terminal on Christmas morning, leading to a man’s arrest for attempted murder, transit authorities said.
The two girls, ages 14 and 16, were attacked while in the Grand Central Dining Concourse around 11:25 a.m. Monday and suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds, the MTA Police Department said.
Less than a minute later, the cops arrested a suspect in the attack, who was identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson.
Hutcherson was booked on felony counts of attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child, according to the MTA.
Both teenage victims were transported by FDNY’s Emergency Medical Services to Bellevue Hospital to be treated for their injuries.
There was no immediate word on their condition Tuesday.
It was not known whether Hutcherson knew the girls before the stabbing, or what triggered the violent attack.
The MTA said the investigation into the incident was ongoing.
