One NYPD cop was stabbed and another slashed by an unhinged knife-wielding man inside a Bronx subway station early Wednesday, cops said.
The two transit officers were responding to a 911 call of a man with a knife on the northbound No. 5 train platform at Pelham Parkway around 2:30 a.m. when the 40-year-old menace started to swing the blade at them without provocation, authorities said.
One of the cops was stabbed in the arm, and the other was slashed on the chin, police said.
Both were taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition.
Photos posted on X hours later show Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry visiting the injured cops at the hospital.
“At Jacobi Hospital early this morning with our @NYPDTransit members who were slashed trying to apprehend an unhinged perp who was menacing straphangers with a knife on a Bronx subway platform,” the union captioned the post. “Thankful that both cops will be OK.”
The assailant was busted on the spot and the knife was recovered, cops said.
Charges were pending against the attacker later in the morning.
