A violent incident unfolded on Monday morning as a man was stabbed multiple times while sleeping on a subway train, generating chaos and leaving blood across the carriages, as per law enforcement reports and witnesses.
The 56-year-old victim was dozing on a southbound No. 1 train near the 145th Street station in Harlem around 6:10 a.m. when a 20-year-old assailant suddenly attacked him, inflicting at least three stab wounds to the head, authorities confirmed.
Transit District 3 officers, stationed at the nearby station, intervened after noticing a disturbance occurring towards the rear of the train.
