At least 1 injured in shooting at Midtown Manhattan subway station: NYPD
Police are searching for a person of interest as four people have been shot in the transit system this year, according to NYPD statistics.
On Saturday, a man was critically injured in a shooting at the Seventh Avenue-53rd Street station in Manhattan. Police transported the victim to a local hospital in critical condition.
The shooting stemmed from a dispute on the platform, and authorities are currently searching for a specific "person of interest" in connection with the incident.
As of Oct, NYPD statistics show four people have been shot in the transit system this year, marking an increase from the same period in 2025.
Service disruptions persist as the MTA reports trains are bypassing Seventh Avenue, with uptown E trains rerouted from West Fourth Street-Washington Square to Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue.
An investigation into the incident remains ongoing as officials work to determine circumstances surrounding the gunfire, with it currently unclear whether a suspect has been taken into custody.
