2 Stabbed In Harlem Subway Station By Man With Dog: Police

HARLEM, NY — A man with a dog stabbed two people at a Harlem subway station Thursday evening after one of them refused to let him onto the platform, police said.

The stabbing unfolded around 7:40 p.m. Thursday at the 2-3 station on 110th Street and Lenox Avenue, after the unidentified suspect swiped into the tall, revolving-door-like turnstile.

After entering the station, the man realized his dog was stuck in the turnstile and exited the platform to retrieve it. He then asked a passerby to let him back into the station, but the person refused, police said.

After a second person opened the gate for the suspect, the man took out a knife and stabbed the first person who refused to let him in, injuring him in the arm, abdomen and lower back, police said.

The second person, standing nearby, was also inadvertently slashed in the arm, police said.

The suspect exited the station while both victims were taken to St. Luke's Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The knife was recovered at the scene, police said.

Police have made no arrests and had no description of the suspect.
