US: Man brutally stabbed at Times Square subway station

New York [US], July 16 : A man was stabbed in the chest at Manhattan’s busiest subway station on Saturday evening, according to New York Post. 

The 51-year-old man was attacked after 8 p.m. in the Times Square station at W 40th Street and Seventh Avenue, New York Police Department (NYPD) reported. 

Police were looking for the suspected man who stabbed a straphanger in the chest.
