A 40-year-old man was fatally stabbed at an Upper Manhattan subway station Friday night during a dispute with another person, the police said.
Officers responding to a 911 call about a person stabbed at the West 175th Street A train station in Washington Heights just before 6 p.m. found the man near the turnstiles on the mezzanine level, the police said.
Around 8:30 p.m., a station entrance on Fort Washington Avenue between West 174th and 175th Streets was closed off with yellow police tape.
A trains were skipping the station, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the subways.
Police officers at the station entrances were directing riders to take the bus or head to stations at West 181st or 168th Streets.
