The NYPD is investigating a slashing and robbery that took place in the Bedford Park Boulevard subway station, serving the D train in the Bedford Park section of The Bronx.
Officers from the 52nd Precinct and Transit District 11 were called to the northbound platform at the station, located at East Bedford Park Boulevard and Jerome Avenue at 7.40 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 11, a police spokesperson said.
Police officials said a 45-year-old man had been sleeping on a D train when an unidentified second male approached the victim and displayed a boxcutter.

As reported, a 40-year-old man was hospitalized after he was stabbed inside the same station on Dec. 10, 2025. Another stabbing incident was also reported at the same station on Nov. 4, Election Night, as reported.
