Man critically injured in stabbing at Metro Center station
https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/08/23/metro-center-stabbing-police/
A man was stabbed and critically injured Tuesday afternoon inside the Metro Center station in downtown Washington, according to D.C. police.
The victim was reported to be unconscious, a police spokeswoman said. A woman also reported being cut; police said they were investigating how she was tied to the incident.
Because of the severity of the man’s injuries, D.C. police homicide detectives responded to the stabbing, but a department spokesman said the investigation was later turned back over to Metro Transit Police.
Police said the stabbing occurred about 3:15 p.m., and it appears to have happened on a station platform.
The station, located on G Street NW between 12th and 13th streets, serves the Red, Orange, Blue and Silver lines and is one of the busiest transit hubs in the system. It is a few blocks from the White House.
Red Line trains headed toward Glenmont bypassed the Metro Center station in the wake of the incident. Metro employees were using bullhorns to give passengers directions for alternative travel. Metro tweeted shortly before 6 p.m. that those trains were no longer bypassing the station.
