A woman was stabbed and critically injured on a San Francisco Muni train yesterday afternoon, sparking an intensive manhunt that resulted in two detentions. The incident happened around 5:38 p.m. in the vicinity of Carroll Avenue and 3rd Street, as reported by the KTVU. Authorities arrived to find the woman with stab wounds. She was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Following the attack, officers chased suspects described by witnesses, who were seen running near Egbert Avenue. The foot chase led to the detention of two individuals, though San Francisco Police have not elaborated on the cause of the stabbing or identified the detained suspects, according to KTVU. The exact Muni train line where the incident occurred has not been specified, despite both N Judah and T Third Street lines serving the area.

Audio captured from police scanner traffic, relayed by ABC7 News, eerily recites, "Friend got stabbed on the 'T' train." The audio provides a chilling account of the event with descriptions of the wounds. "Stab wound to the neck, several to the arms," a paramedic clarified the condition of the victim on the scene.

This violent episode is the latest in what appears to be an uptick in assaults on the Muni system, with police data revealing an increase over the past few years. After rising assaults from 32 in 2021 to 48 in 2023, there was a slight drop in 2024 to 47 incidents, as disclosed by ABC7 News. Traffic and Muni train services were disrupted Tuesday evening due to the investigation, but operations have resumed normalcy. The San Francisco Police Department is urging anyone with information to come forward and contact them at 415-575-4444 or send a text tip to TIP411 starting with SFPD.
