NYC stabbing: Man arrested in connection to unprovoked attack at Grand Central on Christmas Eve

The police reported that a suspect was taken into custody following a series of random stabbings at the Grand Central subway station in New York City on Christmas Eve, which resulted in two individuals being injured.

A representative from the New York City Police Department (NYPD) stated to Fox News Digital that Jason Sargeant, a 28-year-old from Brooklyn, was apprehended for the attack on two unknown individuals.

On Tuesday, just before 10:15 p.m., police responded to a 911 call about an assault at the 42 Street-Grand Central subway station.

Police said a 26-year-old woman was slashed in the neck and a 42-year-old man was slashed in the left wrist. 

Hochul mentioned that there has been a reduction in crime within the NYC subway system since she enlisted the help of the National Guard to address the situation earlier this year, around eight hours after the incident where a woman was killed.

Hochul sent 750 National Guard members to the subways last week in an effort to keep holiday crime in check.

“In March, I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day,” Hochul’s post read. “Since deploying the @NationalGuardNY to support @NYPDnews and @MTA safety efforts and adding cameras to all subway cars, crime is going down, and ridership is going up,” she wrote in her post.

Fox News Digital previously reached out to Hochul’s office for comment on the criticism, but did not immediately hear back.

President-elect Trump’s incoming border czar Tom Homan slammed Hochul on Monday during an interview on “Fox & Friends.”

“Governor Hochul, shame on you. There’s nothing you can say that’s going to make this right in New York,” Homan said. 

Homan, who recently journeyed to the Big Apple to discuss illegal migrant crime with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, pinned some of the blame on the Biden administration for lax federal immigration policies.

“Here’s another example of an illegal alien killing an American citizen. It’s almost a daily occurrence now, because a historic number of criminal aliens are walking the streets, because of this administration’s policy in sanctuary jurisdictions and lax immigration enforcement,” he said.
