Two people sustained knife wounds in an attack on Christmas Eve at a New York City subway station.

The New York Police Department received reports of an assault at the Grand Central-42 Street subway station at approximately 10:15 p.m. Upon responding to the incident, officers found a 26-year-old woman had been slashed in the neck and a 42-year-old male victim had been slashed in the wrist, according to NYPD. Both victims, who did not appear to know one another, were transported to a local hospital in stable condition.

The person of interest was arrested at the same subway station shortly after the incident and remains in custody with charges expected later Wednesday, officials said.
