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.
