Summary
Six people were injured in a stabbing at New York's Penn Station just after 7 p.m. Sunday, and Amtrak police tackled the suspect to the floor before taking him into custody.
One victim suffered serious injuries, others had minor to moderate wounds, and five were taken to Bellevue Hospital while one was transported to NewYork-Presbyterian/Cornell.
Amtrak Police are leading the investigation, with early reporting indicating no preliminary signs of terrorism and suggesting the suspect may have mental health issues.
The attack hit the transit hub beneath Madison Square Garden a day before Game 3 of the NBA Finals, where President Donald Trump and Mayor Zohran Mamdani are expected and hundreds of Secret Service personnel are set to deploy.
