Subway Stabbing 14 Year Old Fatally Stabbed In New York Train Station Authorities Say

The teenager was taken to a hospital, Wilcox said, where he was pronounced dead about a half hour later. Crime scene investigators recovered a knife and what appeared to be a broomstick from the scene, he said. Surveillance footage from the MTA provided images of people at the scene, and investigators released descriptions of possible suspects to responding officers. A man matching the description and bleeding from his back and abdomen was taken into custody, authorities said. Police are sharing video from the scene and speaking with witnesses. No other suspects are being sought, said Wilcox, who urged people with information to come forward. “At this time, we do not believe it was a random attack,” Wilcox said. “The individuals involved are believed to be known to each other.” Officials have placed an increased focus on the safety of residents and law enforcement’s response to subways amid a spike in crime in the city, including a mass shooting at a Brooklyn subway station in April. The city has seen a nearly 38 percent increase in major crimes this year through July 3 compared to the same period in 2021, according to statistics released by the NYPD. Historically, such crime rates are still lower now than in previous decades, such as the 1980s and 1990s.

Man fatally shot after threatening authorities, police say

In an unrelated incident Saturday, a man allegedly called police, identified himself and threatened the governor, some elected officials and members of the NYPD, authorities said. During the phone call, the man said he was “going to blow the heads off the first cops he saw,” according to New York City Patrol Chief Jeffrey B. Madrey. The man then made a second call to an NYPD precinct in Queens and repeated the same thing, Maddrey said. Members of the NYPD’s 113th Precinct in Queens dispatched uniformed officers and marked vehicles to respond to an area near “the address in question,” Madrey said.
At the home, a man came out and one of the officers called him by name, Maddrey said. The man confirmed he was the caller and began swearing at the officers. He did not listen to their commands to take his hands out of his pockets, police said.
There was a brief verbal exchange before the man brandished a firearm and pointed it at police, Maddrey said. The man fired several rounds and “at least six” officers fired their weapons in return, he said.
Officers subdued the injured man and began life-saving measures, taking him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, Maddrey said. Multiple officers were also taken to the hospital and treated for various injuries, including tinnitus and high blood pressure, Maddrey said. The scene is still under investigation.
