Two teenage girls, aged 14 and 16, were stabbed at Grand Central Terminal’s dining concourse on Christmas Day in an unprovoked attack. The incident occurred at around 11:25 a.m. while the girls were eating with their parents at Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse.
The two girls, ages 14 and 16, were attacked while in the Grand Central Dining Concourse around 11:25 a.m. Monday and suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds, the MTA Police Department said.
Less than a minute later, the cops arrested a suspect in the attack, who was identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson.
Hutcherson was booked on felony counts of attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child, according to the MTA. The victims, who were visiting from South America, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The motive for the attack is unclear, and the investigation is ongoing.
