56-year-old man stabbed in head on No. 1 train in Harlem; suspect in custody
HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- A 56-year-old man was stabbed in the head on a subway train in Harlem Monday morning.
Police say he was stabbed on a southbound No. 1 train as it pulled into the 145 St. station just after 6 a.m.
He appeared to be sleeping on the train when he was attacked for an unknown reason.
The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside with a head injury, and is in stable condition.
Not knowing what this was all about, has riders on edge.
"They're just killing people and stabbing people for no reason. It's too much. And every cop can't be at every train station all the time," one rider said.
Police were able to apprehend the suspect immediately after the attack, because there were two officers on board this particular train on patrol.
That suspect is being held at the NYPD's Transit Bureau District 3, and charges are pending.
