Penn Station, which sits directly below Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, is a main connecting point for city subway trains and passenger rail to New Jersey and Long Island. The city\u2019s Amtrak station is also located there.<\/p>\n
\u201cEarlier this afternoon, Amtrak Police responded to a reported stabbing at New York Penn Station,\u201d Amtrak\u2019s communications director told CNN. \u201cThe suspect has been apprehended and an investigation is underway.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is no impact on Amtrak service, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy heart is with everyone who was injured, their loved ones, and all those shaken by this unacceptable violence. I\u2019m wishing each of the victims a full and speedy recovery,\u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m grateful to the Amtrak Police Department and the first responders who acted quickly to apprehend the suspect and provide emergency care,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The New York Knicks host the San Antonio Spurs for Monday\u2019s game. It\u2019s the first time the NBA finals will be at Madison Square Garden since 1999.<\/p>\n
Extra deployments, additional monitoring of cameras, more intelligence sharing and even drone deployments are part of an aggressive, proactive approach in an elevated threat environment, officials say.<\/p>\n
