A 40-year-old man was hospitalized and is in stable condition after being stabbed in the Bedford Park section of The Bronx on Wednesday night, Dec. 10, police said.
Police said at around 8.06 p.m., officers responded to a 911 call regarding an assault at the Bedford Park Boulevard subway station, serving the D Train within the confines of Transit District 11 / 52nd Precinct.
“Upon arrival, officers observed a 40-year-old male with a stab wound to the chest,” a police spokesperson said, adding that a preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and an unknown male perpetrator had gotten into a verbal dispute and the perpetrator had stabbed the victim with an unknown object.
“The victim was transported by EMS to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition,” the spokesperson said. “There are no arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing.”
Meanwhile, EMS said they received a call at 8.07 p.m. for a report of a person stabbed at 199 Bedford Park Boulevard, the subway station serving the B/D train (N222). They said EMS transported one patient to St. Barnabas Hospital and no additional information was available about the patient’s description of injuries.
As reported, a short distance away at Jerome Avenue and East 204th Street, also in Bedford Park, and shortly after the stabbing took place, a commercial fire broke out at an Autorepair shop, generating a substantial response from the FDNY.
