Five people were injured in a bloody stabbing inside Penn Station Sunday evening in what sources described as a random attack by a deranged man.
The knifing rampage began shortly after 7 p.m. at the busy Midtown commuter hub, according to the FDNY — just over 24 hours before President Trump will be directly above the transit center, at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 between the Knicks and Spurs.
Five victims were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, including one person with serious injuries, two people with moderate injuries, and two others with minor injuries, fire officials said.
An unidentified suspect is in custody, authorities added. The individual is believed to be emotionally disturbed, according to sources.
An Amtrak spokesperson confirmed to The Post that Amtrak police responded to the stabbing and apprehended the suspect.
A picture posted to social media showed a group of cops pinning an individual to the ground on the floor of the station.
“This guy stabbed somebody in Penn Station,” the user wrote. “People were flooding out of the station.”
A worker at Penn Station who wished to remain anonymous, said that he received calls to shut down the area and arrived to find two wounded men and the floors covered in blood.
“I got calls to start closing the station,” he said. “It was real bloody, there was a lot of blood on the floor.”
The worker added that he saw one victim with bandages on his head who “looked like he was hurt pretty bad,” and another with what appeared to be a scratch to his neck.
“It’s New York City. Things like that happen, unfortunately, it happened down here. I can’t say it happens here a lot because it doesn’t … it’s a good place here, people trying to get home.
“I’m just glad it wasn’t anything crazier than what it was.”
The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
