An unknown man suddenly approached a 46-year-old man on the staircase inside the 34th Street and Penn Station number 1 train subway station and pulled out a machete. He then struck the other man in the head, fleeing from the site afterward. The man suffered a severe laceration but lived to tell the story.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>Scissors Attack<\/h3>\r\n<p>In January 2022, someone reported a &#8220;scissors attack.&#8221; Apparently, a 28-year-old man with scissors approached a 17-year-old boy on the northbound platform of the A\/C\/E line. The man did not speak; unprovoked, he suddenly slashed the teen in the forehead, then fled the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>Other Attacks<\/h3>\r\n<p>December 2021, in another unprovoked attack on the subway, a 26-year-old man walked up to a sleeping &#8220;straphanger&#8221;, pulled out a knife and plunged it into his neck, then fled. The startled man stumbled out onto the platform and screamed, &#8220;don&#8217;t let me die, I want to live!&#8221; Police on patrol heard the commotion and ran to help the man. Despite efforts, the hospital pronounced him dead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>At the end of March 2022, someone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/new-york\/nyc-crime\/ny-random-attack-punch-penn-station-tooth-20220328-zyabea5bg5byfete6cqgwzhhqq-story.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">punched<\/a>\u00a0a 69- year old man to the ground and he lost a tooth.

However, this isn&#8217;t unique to Penn Station. Data shows that crime rates have <a href=\"https:\/\/nyti.ms\/35c4O0v\" rel=\"nofollow\">spiked<\/a> since COVID-19 in NYC. Indeed, 8 subway attacks occurred across the city in just one weekend in February 2022. As a result, Governor and the Mayor have teamed up to launch a city-wide anti-crime campaign. Part of that campaign has included increasing police presence in stations across the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Penn Station remains a critical part of New York City. It&#8217;s still one of the largest stations for commuters coming in and out of the city. Some New Yorkers may not favor this major transit hall, but it remains historic.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: We updated this article to enhance readability.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historic Highlights\u00a0of Penn Station The original Penn Station opened in 1910 and reached its peak in 1945 when 100 million riders used Penn Station every year.
