Two men were in stable condition after sustaining stab wounds on SEPTA’s Broad Street Line late Wednesday afternoon, a transit agency spokesperson said.

The stabbings happened around 4 p.m. on a northbound Broad Street Line train, said SEPTA spokesperson John Golden.

Because of police activity at the Broad-Girard Station, northbound B1, B2, and B3 trains were bypassing the station for several hours.

Shortly after 10:30 p.m., Golden said a suspect had been taken into custody by SEPTA Transit Police.
