A 54-year-old man was fatally stabbed at the Coney Island Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn late Tuesday night, as reported by New York City police. Discovered with a stab wound to his back before 11:30pm, the victim was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Authorities have not disclosed the identity of the deceased, and no arrests have been made in connection to the incident.

This violent episode casts a shadow over the ongoing concerns regarding the safety of New York City's public transit system, an issue that has persisted under Mayor Eric Adams' administration. While city officials highlight a decline in serious crimes within the subway network in 2024, public perception varies. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
