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.
