Man killed on bus in 3rd fatal transit attack in 10 days
A man was fatally stabbed during a feud aboard an MTA bus in the Bronx, the eighth person to be killed in the transit system this year, and the third person to be fatally stabbed in transit in 10 days.
Lamont Barkley, 55, got into a verbal dispute with a man and woman, believed to be boyfriend and girlfriend, on a BX19 bus at about 8:25 p.m. Sunday night. The argument escalated and police say the man stabbed Barkley multiple times in the stomach at East 149th Street and Gerard Avenue.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose forces invaded neighboring Ukraine on Feb. 24, said the strikes were retaliation for what he called Kyiv's "terrorist" actions - a reference to Ukraine's attempts to repel Moscow's invasion force and cripple their supply lines.
