There, emergency crews found a man in his 30s on the westbound platform with a serious wound to his chest.

Stabilized on scene by paramedics, he was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition, where he later died.

A man, believed to be the attacker, was taken into custody almost immediately while police rounded up nearby witnesses who were taken off-site for questioning.

Trains rolled past a pile of clothing and discarded medical supplies as police searched for evidence on the platform, while scores of commuters and curious passersby looked on.

The station’s westbound platform was closed for several hours, with trains entering downtown passing by without stopping.

Eastbound service was not affected.

The investigation continues, and police have yet to identify the suspect.
