A 42-year-old man was stabbed in the abdomen and suffered heavy bleeding, while a 32-year-old woman sustained stab wounds to her back.
Both victims were taken to the hospital conscious, and officers rushed out to stop the attacker after the male victim fell while attempting to climb the station steps, as seen in a video shared on Facebook.
