NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say three people were stabbed Saturday in the New York subway system in separate attacks that come as concerns rise about transit crime. A 20-year-old woman was stabbed three times in the abdomen at the Van Siclen Avenue station in Brooklyn and was taken to a hospital. A man was stabbed in the leg Saturday night at the 168th Street station in Washington Heights during a robbery attempt. Shortly afterward, a 31-year-old man was stabbed in the arm at the 116th Street station near Columbia University after asking a man and woman to move because they were smoking. No arrests have been made.
