The New York Fire Department initially reported five injuries, but Mayor Zohran Mamdani later confirmed that six people were stabbed, including one who sustained serious injuries. All victims were promptly transported to area hospitals for medical treatment.

Officials stated that the precise circumstances surrounding the attack remain under active investigation. City Comptroller Mark Levine subsequently described the suspect as an emotionally disturbed homeless individual.

The violent incident occurred at one of New York City’s busiest transportation hubs. Emergency responders quickly swarmed the scene, and police cordoned off several sections of the station to conduct their investigation and secure the area.
