Man killed in shooting at Midtown Manhattan subway station: NYPD
Police said the victim was in critical condition as service on the E, C and D lines was disrupted.
On Saturday, an unidentified man was critically injured in a shooting at the 53rd Street and 7th Avenue subway station in Midtown Manhattan, according to the NYPD and FDNY.
Police stated the shooting stemmed from a dispute on the platform, and investigators are actively searching for a specific "person of interest" in connection with the incident.
With the victim in critical condition following a chest wound, authorities have yet to release a description of the shooter or the identity of the person involved.
New York City's Office of Emergency Management warned of transit disruptions and road closures near 7th Avenue, while the MTA rerouted uptown E trains and bypassed Seventh Avenue for C and D trains.
Statistics from the NYPD reveal an escalating trend of violence, with four people shot in the transit system this year compared to two over the same period in 2025.
