5 stabbed at New York City's Penn Station, suspect in custody: Sources
Five people were stabbed Sunday evening at New York City's Penn Station by a man experiencing homelessness, sources told ABC News.
The suspect, a man in his 50s who has not been publicly named, was taken into police custody on Sunday, sources said.
None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening, sources said.
Victim Henry Obadiah, who was slashed on the cheek and the lip,told ABC New York station WABChe was on his way out of Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan when the suspect "locked eyes with me."
"Then he just came at m. ... got me right in the face," the 60-year-old said. "I hear this guy on the escalator go, 'He's got a knife, he's got a knife.'"
Obadiah said he told a responding officer he could identify the suspect and he went back into Penn Station with police.
He said he saw a "trail of blood" leading to another victim.
"People were running all over the place," he said, describing it as a "crazy scene."
Obadiah said he was taken to a hospital and received several stitches in his lip.
"My heart is with everyone who was injured, their loved ones, and all those shaken by this unacceptable violence," Mayor Zohran Mamdani said ina statementposted on social media. "I'm wishing each of the victims a full and speedy recovery."
Mamdani praised the "swift response" by Amtrak police and other first responders, who he said "acted quickly to apprehend the suspect and provide emergency care."
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on social media on Tuesday, "I will not tolerate stabbings or any other crimes at Penn Station."
He said the Department of Transportation is working with Amtrak "to address safety and security at Penn Station."
The stabbings unfolded one nightbefore Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden,which is directly above Penn Station. President Donald Trumpwill attend Monday night's game, prompting massive security protocols and the cancellation of the watch party outside of Madison Square Garden.
