Two teenagers were stabbed during an early morning assault on a Bronx subway platform, adding to concerns over safety on public transit. The incident occurred at the Castle Hill Avenue station on the southbound number 6 line at approximately 12:25 a.m., according to a report by ABC7NY. A 19-year-old man suffered stab wounds to his left arm and right leg, while a 17-year-old woman was stabbed in the right knee.
Details from PIX11 indicate that the individuals were attacked by three suspects, where not only were the victims stabbed, but the man was also hit in the head with a bottle. The assailants reportedly fled after stealing the girl's cellphone. No arrests have been made in connection with the violent robbery, despite both teenagers being transported to Jacobi Hospital and reported in stable condition.
This shocking event took place on the heels of a recent NYPD press briefing where Commissioner Jessica Tisch highlighted a drop in subway crimes. "The first time that's happened since 2018," Tisch announced that the New York City subways hadn't seen a murder for the first time in nearly a decade in 2025. She also stated that from January through March of 2025, crime had fallen by almost 20 percent compared to last year, which represents the second-lowest level in 27 years, as reported by PIX11.
The NYPD has yet to release any additional information on the suspects, and the investigation is ongoing. Those with any knowledge of the incident are encouraged to come forward to aid in bringing these attackers to justice.
