5 people stabbed at New York's Penn Station, fire department says
NEW YORK (AP) --- Five people were injured in a series of stabbings at New
York's Penn Station on Sunday evening and a suspect is in custody, authorities
said.
Paramedics responding around 7 p.m. found one victim with a serious injury, two
with moderate injuries, and the rest with minor injuries, the city's fire
department said in a statement. All were transported to Bellevue Hospital. It
said the suspect was in custody without elaborating.
The stabbing occurred in one of the city's busiest transit hubs on the eve of
President Donald Trump's planned attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at
Madison Square Garden, which sits directly above Penn Station.
The presidential visit has already prompted heightened security measures around
the arena and surrounding blocks, with the Secret Service, New York Police
Department and other agencies expected to have a substantial presence for the
nationally televised event.
Authorities did not immediately indicate whether the stabbing incident would
affect security plans for Monday night's game. But the violence unfolded in an
area where millions of commuters, tourists and sports fans pass through each
year.
Penn Station is expected to be particularly crowded ahead of the first NBA
Finals game at Madison Square Garden since 1999.
