Police reports indicate that an armed assailant with a knife entered the train, opening fire on passengers and causing chaos and panic throughout the carriage.
Witnesses described seeing a man with blood on his hand fleeing through the train, shouting “They have a knife.” Authorities quickly detained two suspects after the train stopped at Huntington station.
