Suspect of 2 Train Stabbing Arrested


More disturbing news for NYC commuters. After a deadly weekend, new information confirms yet another concern for millions of straphangers.

“The two subway riders fatally stabbed along the downtown 2 line were attacked during a rowdy ‘train party’ — a fast-growing epidemic where youths, packing booze, smokes and sometimes weapons, take over a subway car in “wilding” episodes long after the bars have closed.

“It’s like something from the bad old days of New York,” a law-enforcement source told The NYPost.

Yesterday, 19-year-old Brenddy Garcia confessed to the stabbings but claims he was fending off a group of 7-8 drunken men who hit him in the head with a beer bottle.

Police have arrested three men in connection with the incident. Garcia of Brownsville, Brooklyn was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon, Gothamist reported.

With eliminating station booths and NYPD officers, due to recent spike in underground violence, security has been beefed up during high-crime period.

Two men Murdered on the 2 Train


Two men stabbed to death, and a third man badly injured on the 2 train at 5 am Monday, according to NY1.

Police say Darnell Morel, 24, and Ricardo Williams, 24, were killed following an altercation with another group.

One of the men had a bag of trash and tossed it out the door as the train stopped at 14th Street. The trash struck one of four men boarding the train at that stop — and he pulled a knife, according to an eyewitness. Police stopped the train at the Houston Street station.

No weapon was recovered.

And in another shocking incident; on Sunday, a body of a nearly naked one-legged young woman was found on the tracks near a Brooklyn subway station Sunday – and her prosthetic leg was discovered a few feet away, The Daily News wrote yesterday.

The woman’s body was found about 3:40 p.m. in a subway culvert about 100 feet from the Kings Highway station on the N line in Bensonhurst.

Whether this is a hint of the violence we could be witnessing when less subway workers are around due to the cuts, or whether this is another example of the 22 percent spike in violence in the city so far this year – the deadly weekend on the tracks, is alarming.
