Man stabbed to death with own knife in what started as subway dispute in Manhattan

GREENWICH VILLAGE, Manhattan (WABC) -- A man was stabbed to death with his own knife in what started as a subway dispute in Manhattan.

Police say he was arguing with two other men inside the 14th Street station serving the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 trains. They say he then pulled out a knife, stabbed one of them in the torso and ran off.

It appears the pair chased him, got a hold of the knife, and the injured man fatally stabbed the initial attacker in the chest.

Police say the wounded man who attacked the suspect is 24 years old. There is no word on whether he is facing any charges.

The man who died has not yet been identified.
