Two men were stabbed, one of them fatally, when a verbal dispute turned violent inside a downtown Manhattan subway station Saturday evening, cops said.
Cops responded to the scene of the bloodshed around 7:04 p.m. at the 14th St.-Seventh Ave. station in the West Village after an argument between three men ended with a 24-year-old man stabbed in the lower torso and an unidentified man stabbed in the chest.
EMS transported both men to Bellevue Hospital where the unidentified man died of his injuries. The 24-year-old was in stable condition.
It wasn’t immediately clear what sparked the deadly dispute, after which two persons of interest were taken into custody.
Cops had the station entrances blocked off at 14th St. as they investigated the crime scene Saturday night. The 12th St. entrances were open.
A pile of discarded medical gloves and towels could be seen right in front of a manned token booth inside the station that was cordoned off by police tape.
As of Saturday night, no charges had been filed.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
