An MTA station cleaner was in stable condition Thursday after he was stabbed while on the job in the Bronx.
The 47-year-old transit worker was stabbed in the armpit after getting into an argument with another man on the mezzanine of the Pelham Parkway No. 5 train station sometime around 6 a.m., law enforcement sources told the Daily News.
Police said the suspect, described as a Black man between the ages of 55 and 60, then fled the station. Police said he was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.
Transit sources said the wounded cleaner was able to take the train three stops north to the No. 5 train terminal at Dyre Ave., where he called for an ambulance.
He was transported to Jacobi Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.
