Brooklyn Subway Stabbing: Police Search for Teenagers After 13-Year-Old Girl is Injured!
The NYPD is actively searching for three teenage boys linked to the stabbing of a 13-year-old girl outside the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center subway station on Sunday night. This violent incident has raised alarms about safety in and around subway stations, a concern that has been growing in recent months.
According to police, the suspects are believed to be between 16 and 19 years old. They are accused of stabbing the girl in the stomach with a knife during an argument that escalated quickly. The confrontation occurred shortly before 8 p.m. Sunday, and while the situation was alarming, officers have reported that the girl is expected to recover from her injuries.
New images have emerged showing the suspects inside the subway system on the night of the attack. The police have also obtained video footage that captures the suspects hopping over the turnstiles, but it’s unclear if they were armed during that time. Police have not yet released details about which subway station the footage was taken from nor whether the teens had weapons when they fled.
Witnesses reported seeing the suspects run off on Atlantic Avenue after the attack. The police are working diligently to identify and locate these individuals, urging anyone with information to step forward and contact the NYPD.
This stabbing incident follows the recent installation of metal detectors at some subway stations, a measure aimed at improving safety for commuters. However, officers noted that no metal detectors were observed at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station on the morning following the attack.
The NYPD is appealing to the community for assistance in this case. With concerns over subway safety rising, the police hope public tips will help them find the suspects before another incident occurs. Anyone who may have seen something or has information related to this stabbing is encouraged to contact law enforcement.
As investigations continue, the city remains on alert for similar incidents, and officials are discussing possible additional measures to enhance safety in public transit. This latest event serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in keeping subway stations safe for all riders, especially younger individuals who may be more vulnerable in such situations.
