Girl, 14, becomes the latest NYC subway crime victim as she’s stabbed by a group of girls

A teenager was stabbed and injured on a New York subway after she got into an argument with two other girls.

The 14-year-old was on a train on Saint Nicholas Avenue and 191st Street in Washington Heights on Sunday when she was stabbed in the torso. She was taken to hospital in stable condition.

The stabbing is the latest violent crime on the Big Apple’s transportation system, as Mayor Eric Adams continues to argue that there is only a perception that crime is spiraling out of control in the city.

Nine people have died in the subway system since the beginning of the year and another 13 have been subjected to senseless pushing. The latest victim of a push was attacked on Saturday.

Now forced to deal with the escalating violence, Adams said Saturday he will flood subways with more police to curb attacks on commuters.

In the latest incident, the 14-year-old girl – who has not been identified – was seen on the train around 4 p.m. Saturday.

“She held her side the whole time because it happened on the train and there was no blood trail,” MTA cleaner Walter R. Lewis told the New York Post. “She said she had a history with the girl, whoever it was, who stabbed her.”

The girl was with a 13-year-old boy who was also injured — but not stabbed — as he tried to end the fight, the NYPD told DailyMail.com. No arrests have been made.

Adams was pressured last week after ignoring the rising crime rate on the New York City subway, claiming that on average, only six crimes a day occur on the transportation network.

But after angry reactions, he promised Saturday in the Grand Central Terminal along with the MTA Police Department and Gov. Kathy Hochul to fill the subways with more police and extra security measures.

The new initiative adds 1,200 extra services, or 10,000 hours more per day to improve metro safety.

The focus will be on Penn Station, Atlantic Terminal, Grand Central and Jamaica Station, according to NBC.

“We need to address both the perception and the reality of safety, and the expanded partnership we’re announcing today with Governor Hochul will do just that, as we build on the successes of our Subway Safety Plan,” Adams said. ‘

“The bottom line is that riders will see more officers in the system, and so will those who are thinking about breaking the law.”

The metropolitan police will also have to undergo new training on caring for mentally ill riders. The plan complements the two new psychiatric facilities that will soon open in the city.

The first center will open on November 1, and the second in 2023. It is unclear when the new initiative will start.

Adams has been beaten by former NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly, who said Sunday that metro crimes are rampant in the cities.

“A few years ago, we were the safest big city in America,” Kelly said. NY Post. “This is not brain surgery. You go back and look at the things we did then and you do them again. But apparently the mayor doesn’t want this.’

‘Every day you read about a crime on public transport, and it only reinforces the idea that it is too dangerous to travel on the metro. I think they need a fresh take on public transportation because we know the subway is the lifeblood of New York.’

Last week, Adams said there is only “the perception that crime in the city is “getting out of control,” despite the fact that nine people have been killed in the subway system this year.

He claimed he was fighting “actual crime,” with the average of “six crimes a day” on the subway “not giving the impression that crime was spiraling out of control.”

Despite Adam’s previous claims, transportation network homicides have skyrocketed to its highest annual level in 25 years, as NYPD data shows the city grapples with an overall spike in indiscriminate violence.

Overall crime in the city is up 31.1 percent from last year, with felony, robbery and rape leading the way.

Hours after the 14-year-old girl was stabbed in Washington Heights, another unprovoked attack took place on a platform heading south in the Bronx.

A 63-year-old passenger was waiting for train No. 4 when he was hit on the head from behind, causing him to fall onto the track NBC New York.

The man refused medical care – and police later arrested a 21-year-old man.

Last week, two men were pushed onto train tracks in the Big Apple.

David Martin, 32, was the latest subway victim known to suffer a broken collarbone and swollen face after being targeted by a deranged man at the Wyckoff Avenue and Myrtle Avenue subway stations at 2:40 p.m. Friday.

Martin is now so traumatized that he is suicidal according to his mother.

The 32-year-old became the 13th victim this year — and the third in just a week — to be pushed onto the New York City subway tracks.

Video footage showed the horrific moment when the attacker gave Martin a shove before running away and escaping through the turnstiles.

Another man was rescued by Good Samaritans on Oct. 15 after being pushed off the platform at 149th Street in the Bronx.

Surveillance footage showed the horrific moment when the wide-eyed pusher chased the 26-year-old man for several seconds before running after him and pushing him off the platform.

The pusher fled the station and appeared shocked that the man was being helped by Good Samaritans.

Officials struggle to explain the rise in crime.

Many have blamed the COVID-19 pandemic, saying resources such as homeless shelters and mental health outreach programs have stopped.

Others say it has to do with easing bail policies in liberal cities like New York and San Francisco.

Before the pandemic, New York state made sweeping bailout reforms in an effort to reduce the number of low-level inmates.

It has released many repeat offenders back into the community.

That was compounded in New York City by the election of District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who instructed his staff to avoid bailing cash whenever possible.

Adams vowed to crack down on crime in the subway with the introduction of a special task force for trains.

They have not yet had an effect on the worsening of crime.
