New York: At least two people were stabbed after a knife-wielding maniac went on a stabbing rampage in New York City's Grand Central Station on Christmas Eve, causing grievous injuries to both of them. The incident, which took place in a crowded place, resulted in chaotic situation at the scene. Reports suggested that a 28-year-old man slashed two strangers with a knife in the seemingly random attack just after 10 pm at the busy tourist hotspot.

According to the information, the accused stabbed a 48-year-old man in the wrist and a 26-year-old woman in the neck. Both the injured victims were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment at Bellevue Hospital.

The incident occurred just days after another shocking attack in New York. 

Earlier, on Sunday morning, 33-year-old Guatemalan migrant Sebastian Zapeta-Calil allegedly set a stranger on fire aboard a subway train at Stillwell Avenue in Brooklyn's Coney Island. The horrific attack, which was captured in chilling videos by witnesses, led to the victim's death. Zapeta-Calil was arrested and appeared in court on Tuesday, facing charges for the gruesome murder.

Further details regarding the stabbing incident are being awaited.
