BOSTON (WHDH) - A police investigation has been launched following a stabbing at the Downtown Crossing MBTA station.
Officers responding to a reported altercation at the Franklin Street entrance around 11:40 p.m. found an 18-year-old victim who had suffered stab wounds to his body, according to transit police.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
A preliminary investigation suggests the suspect may be a young male approximately 16 to 19 years of age.
“It’s shocking because Boston is relatively safe,” Mark Spellen, who regularly takes the T, said. “I feel safe in any neighborhood in Boston. So it’s just sad that someone got stabbed.”
Richard Dahill used to take the train, but doesn’t anymore.
“You know we’re just more apprehensive,” Dahill said. “We’re not as comfortable as we used to be.”
Police have not yet released more information on the incident.
