A knifepoint robbery aboard the 2 train went awry when one victim stole the robber\u2019s knife and used it against him, police sources say.<\/p>\n
The brawl broke out aboard a northbound train near the Bronx Park East station just before 7 p.m. Thursday when two 18-year-old men were approached by a group of eight people.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the investigation tell News 12 that one robber, a 17-year-old boy, stole one man’s cellphones before a fight broke out, and the 17-year-old slashed the man in the face and arm.<\/p>\n
The man fought back and obtained the teen\u2019s knife, which he used to stab him, sources say.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the second victim was punched in the face by another in the group. His cellphone was also snatched.<\/p>\n
Sources say the group of robbers, including the teen, exited the train and ran away before the teen called 911 to report he had been stabbed.<\/p>\n
EMS took the teen to the hospital and placed him in police custody. He is expected to recover.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old slashing victim was also hospitalized and is expected to be OK.<\/p>\n
No official charges have been filed as of Friday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A knifepoint robbery aboard the 2 train went awry when one victim stole the robber\u2019s knife and used…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[42253,128,12038,9,24,63,260,10524,33560,129,131,130,3444,1961,19147],"class_list":["post-177643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-brawl","tag-bronx","tag-knifepoint-robbery","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-stabbing","tag-subway-stabbing","tag-teenagers","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-train","tag-train-station","tag-trains"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
