Two men are in custody after an argument escalated to a violent altercation on a Times Square subway platform Tuesday, authorities say.
It's not clear what the men were initially fighting about. They had been on the uptown A/C platform at 42nd Street just after noon. At one point, one of the men took out a knife and slashed the other on the side of his head.
The knife-wielding man then escaped on an uptown train. He was apprehended a short time later at the Columbus Circle station not far away.
The suspect was charged with second-degree assault. He told cops the slashed man had attacked him as well. The slashed man was then charged with third-degree assault. Authorities have not identified either man.
No one else was hurt in the fray.
