Five people have been injured in a st@bbing at New York City’s Penn Station. The knifing rampage began shortly after 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 7, at the busy Midtown commuter hub, according to the FDNY.
One person suffered a serious injury, two had moderate injuries, and the rest suffered minor injuries from the st@bbing, the Fire Department of New York said in a statement shared with US media.
An unidentified suspect is in custody, authorities added. The individual is believed to be emotionally disturbed and homeless, according to sources.
An Amtrak spokesperson confirmed to The Post that Amtrak police responded to the st@bbing and apprehended the suspect.
A picture posted to social media showed a group of cops pinning an individual to the ground on the floor of the station.
“This guy stabbed somebody in Penn Station,” witness Brandon Norwood, who took the photo, wrote. “People were flooding out of the station.”
Norwood was waiting to take a 7:04 p.m. train home when he saw the suspect st@b someone by Track 1 of the NJ Transit boarding area — and said chaos immediately broke out.
“I saw him st@b one person, and once [the victim] started screaming, everyone ran. Someone fell, and I had to help them up so they weren’t next or trampled,” Norwood said.
“It all happened so fast,” he said. “It’s gonna stay with me.”
A worker at Penn Station who wished to remain anonymous said he received calls to shut down the area and arrived to find two wounded men and the floors covered in blood.
“I got calls to start closing the station,” he said. “It was real bloody, there was a lot of blood on the floor.”
The worker added that he saw one victim with bandages on his head who “looked like he was hurt pretty bad,” and another with what appeared to be a scratch to his neck.
“It’s New York City. Things like that happen, unfortunately, it happened down here.  I can’t say it happens here a lot because it doesn’t … it’s a good place here, people trying to get home.
“I’m just glad it wasn’t anything crazier than what it was.”
