NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Three people were stabbed at a major New York City subway station Saturday morning by a man with a knife, according to authorities, who say that man was then shot by police on a station platform and later died.<\/p>\n
The New York Police Department said officers responding to a 9:40 a.m. emergency call of an assault at the 42nd Street-Grand Central station encountered the man holding a weapon that a law enforcement official described as a machete. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n
Police shot the man, although it wasn\u2019t immediately clear how many shots were fired or struck him. In a social media post, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the man later died.<\/p>\n
The three stabbing victims \u2014 an 84-year-old male, a 65-year-old male and a 70-year-old female \u2014 were all in stable condition at the hospital, the department said. Two officers were also being evaluated at a hospital.<\/p>\n
Police were still investigating whether the stabbing started on the subway platform which services the 4,5 and 6 MTA trains or on one of the subways.<\/p>\n
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on social media that she was \u201cgrateful to our brave officers who acted quickly to stop the suspect. We\u2019re working closely with the NYPD as the investigation unfolds.\u201d<\/p>\n
The police department, posting on X, urged travelers to avoid the area Saturday morning due to a police investigation and to expect delays and heavy traffic. The Metropolitan Transit Authority said some subway trains were not stopping at the station, which is separate from regional train service at Grand Central.<\/p>\n
