Five people were injured in a stabbing incident at New York City’s busy Penn Station, prompting a major police response and temporary disruption at one of the country’s largest transport hubs.

Authorities said emergency services rushed to the scene after reports of multiple people being attacked inside the station during a crowded period of commuter activity.

Victims received medical treatment at the scene before several were transported to nearby hospitals for further care. Officials said the injuries were not immediately believed to be life-threatening.

Police moved quickly to secure the area, while sections of the station experienced delays and heightened security measures during the investigation.

Witnesses described scenes of panic as travellers and commuters attempted to leave the area following the attack.

Law enforcement officials confirmed that investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident, including possible motives and whether the attacker acted alone.

No immediate details were released regarding arrests or the identity of the suspect.

Penn Station is one of the busiest transportation centres in the United States, serving hundreds of thousands of passengers daily through rail and subway connections.

Security concerns at major public transport hubs have remained a significant issue for authorities in large cities due to the challenges of protecting crowded and highly accessible spaces.

New York officials urged the public to remain calm while police continue reviewing surveillance footage and gathering witness statements.

Transport services gradually resumed as officers maintained a visible security presence throughout the station.

The incident is expected to renew discussion around urban public safety, policing resources and security procedures within major transportation networks.

Authorities encouraged anyone with information or video evidence related to the attack to contact investigators.
