A teenager was stabbed in the back and the neck at a subway station in Brooklyn, police said Friday.
The stabbing happened around 3 p.m. on the Manhattan-bound platform inside the Graham Ave. L train station at Graham and Metropolitan Aves. in Williamsburg, according to cops.
“It was a fight on the platform,” said a police source. A suspect was caught on video exiting the station and may have also been hurt during the fight, according to police and witnesses.
“It’s hard to tell,” the police source said. “He might have cut himself in the struggle.”
“It happened downstairs, a fight on the platform,” said Ameen Alshujaa, who was working at his store near the subway entrance. “He came out of the subway normal but with blood on his hands. It was bad,” Alshujaa added.
After fleeing the station the suspect walked down Metropolitan Ave. and appeared to try to enter a building before continuing to walk down the street, police said.
“He was wearing all black and carrying a duffel bag,” Alshujaa said of the suspect.
Alshujaa said he later saw the injured victim brought out of the subway on a stretcher. Medics transported him to Woodhull Hospital in stable condition.
So far there have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
