At least six people were stabbed by an ‘emotionally disturbed’ person at New York City’s Penn Station on Sunday, just one day before President Donald Trump is set to attend the third game of the NBA finals at the overhead Madison Square Garden.
The unidentified suspect began stabbing victims near the Amtrak terminals at the busy transit hub just after 7pm, ABC 7 reports.
One person was said to have suffered serious injuries, while two others suffered moderate injuries and the others suffered minor injuries. All were then transported to a local hospital.
The suspect, who was considered emotionally disturbed, was then arrested by Amtrak police, who tackled him to the ground, according to AMNY.
A photo posted to social media showed officers pinning the suspect to the floor just outside of tracks five and six.
‘This guy just stabbed somebody in Penn Station,’ freelance film critic Brandon Norwood posted on X.
‘People were flooding out of the station.’
