A 41-year-old man was stabbed multiple times in the arm on a Bronx subway train Wednesday afternoon as it entered the station, authorities said.

The victim was stabbed in the right arm while on a southbound 2 train at 3 p.m. just before arriving at the Jackson Avenue 2/5 station in Melrose, according to the New York Police Department.

The injured man rushed off the train and begged a station official to call 911, police said.

His attacker, for his part, remained on the train after the violence in broad daylight.

Paramedics transported the victim to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln, where he was listed in stable condition, according to the NYPD.

Police said it was unclear what led to the bloodshed, and the suspect was in the wind Wednesday evening.
