The attacks occurred around 7 p.m., according to multiple reports. Emergency crews responded quickly, finding victims with varying degrees of injury: one critically hurt, two moderately injured, and three with minor wounds. Five were transported to Bellevue Hospital, while the sixth victim was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
The stabbings took place in one of the city’s busiest transit hubs on the eve of President Donald Trump's planned attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, which sits directly above Penn Station. The presidential visit has prompted heightened security measures around the arena and surrounding blocks.
The incident occurred during a period of increased activity in New York City’s transportation network due to the ongoing NBA Finals series between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. Authorities have not yet indicated whether the stabbing will affect security plans for Monday night's game.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani posted on X that he was in touch with Amtrak officials about the “horrific” stabbing and praised first responders. He stated, 'Based on the information available right now, six people were stabbed and the alleged perpetrator is in custody following a swift response from the Amtrak police department.'
