During the weekend, the disorder that had initially started underground extended to the commuter rails. A Metro-North passenger was recently stabbed in the chest during an altercation over loud music as a train pulled into Grand Central Station.

The attack happened at about 7 p.m. on a New Haven line Metro-North train arriving at the station, according to the MTAPD.

Abdul Malik Little, 46, was playing music over his phone’s speaker and took exception when a 31-year-old fellow rider complained about the racket.

Little stabbed the unidentified 31-year-old man in the chest twice with a knife as the train pulled into Grand Central, the MTAPD says.

The victim was strong enough to exit the train at the station and identify his attacker to police who were patrolling the platform.

Those patrolmen apprehended Little at the scene without incident and recovered a knife during the arrest, MTAPD reports.

The 31-year-old victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital with injuries that are considered non-life-threatening.

Little, from Jamaica, NY, is charged with Attempted Murder, Felony Assault, and Criminal Possession of a Weapon, the MTAPD says.

This is the second stabbing in as many weeks in Grand Central and comes on the tail of a series of horrifying crimes underground.

On Christmas Eve, suspect Jason Sargeant allegedly slashed a man on the wrist and a woman in the neck during a mad dash through Grand Central, according to the NYPD.

On Dec 22, a woman riding the F train was set on fire and burned to death by an illegal Guatemalan migrant, who torched her clothes, fanned the flames, and watched 57-year-old Debrina Kawam die at the Coney-Island Stillwell Avenue train stop, cops say.

Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, was indicted on first and second-degree murder charges and one count of arson for the attack. He is due back in court on Jan 7.

On New Year’s Eve, one straphanger was pushed in front of an oncoming 1 train at 18th Street in Chelsea in a shocking caught-on-tape attack.

This alarming rise in high-profile subway crime has caused the Guardian Angels to dust off the red berets.

Curtis Sliwa, Angel’s founder and former mayoral candidate, announced earlier this week that the anti-crime brigade would be resuming patrols of the city subway system for the first time since 2020.

“We’re going to have to increase our numbers, increase the training and increase our presence as we did back in 1979,” Sliwa said at the Stillwell Avenue-Coney Island station in Brooklyn last Sunday.
