    (CNN) — Five people were stabbed in separate incidents in New York City subway stations this weekend since officials on Friday vowed to combat crime and address homelessness in the city’s transit system as part of a new public safety initiative, according to the New York Police Department.

No arrests have been made in connection to any of the incidents, and all five victims are in stable condition, a NYPD spokesperson told CNN on Sunday.

The first stabbing incident this weekend occurred Friday evening inside a Queens subway station, where a man was stabbed by another man who fled the scene on foot, police say. The victim was taken to a local hospital with a cut to his arm and is expected to survive. The NYPD said they have a suspect related to the attack in custody.

The second incident occurred early Saturday morning inside another subway station in Queens. A 46-year-old man was approached by three males who demanded money, the NYPD said. A dispute ensued, and the victim was stabbed in the thigh. He was taken to a local and is in stable condition. read more

  2. Uncle Al – how’s that ‘common sense’ knife control working out in Londonistan? What? ya mean to tell me it ain’t – why I am shocked, shocked I tell ya!
    But that won’t stop the prohibitionists of any/all stripes from trying though………….

  3. All citizens who are non-military and non-Police only need those little plastic picnic knives – not the serrated ones!

    Uncle Al, we must notify the House and the Senate! NOW!

    mortem tyrannis
    izlamo delenda est …

  4. Just think how many stabbings there might have been if that new safety plan hadn’t been unveiled!! NYC certainly dodged a bullet there. If they would add a few knife free zones, NYC could be as safe as the south side of Chicago.
