NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 14-year-old girl was stabbed and slashed during a fight on a subway train in Manhattan on Sunday, police said.
A 13-year-old boy who was with the victim was also injured in the 4 p.m. altercation aboard a southbound 1 train near the 191st station in Washington Heights.
The girl suffered a minor puncture wound to her torso and a laceration to her hand. She was taken in stable condition to New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
The boy suffered a laceration to his finger. It wasn’t immediately clear if he was taken to a hospital.
Police said the 14-year-old girl was not cooperating with investigators.
No arrests have been reported, and no descriptions of any suspects have been released by police.
The stabbing was just the latest violence in the transit system. On Sunday night, a 62-year-old man was punched in an unprovoked attack that caused him to fall onto the tracks at a Bronx subway station.
“You just watch your back and hope you make it out alive,” rider Aldo Bueno told 1010 WINS.
Over the weekend, Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a series of initiatives aimed at lowering crime in the subway. Adams said it was about tackling both the perception and reality of crime after multiple high-profile subway shovings and unprovoked assaults recently.
The programs include an additional 1,200 police overtime shifts in the subway, installation of surveillance cameras in every subway car and two new in-patient psychiatric facilities dedicated to treating homeless New Yorkers with severe mental health issues.
