The first day of the new year got off to a bloody start in Manhattan following a violent attack on the platform of a subway station, police confirmed Wednesday.
A person standing on a southbound 1 train platform at the Cathedral Parkway–110th Street station was stabbed repeatedly. Police said the victim suffered stab wounds in the head, arm and hip.
The attack happened around 9:30 a.m., at a time that would normally be bustling with weekday commuters.
Medics picked the injured person and rushed them over to St. Luke’s Hospital, according to the NYPD.
Police said the suspect was last seen wearing a red sweater, black jacket and black ski mask. The perpetrator is believed to have fled down Broadway.
