Man dies from multiple stab wounds following attack in Manhattan subway station

An argument at a Manhattan subway station ended with a man brutally stabbed to death Friday.

Police responding to a 911 call found Johnny Medina, 40, bleeding from multiple stab wounds to his torso and neck near the turnstiles of the 175th St. A subway station near Fort Washington Ave. in Washington Heights around 5:55 p.m. , the cops said.

Witnesses saw Medina arguing with his killer near the restrooms at nearby J. Hood Wright Park before the two men went down to the station's mezzanine, where the other man launched his savage attack, according to police sources.

Doctors rushed the victim in cardiac arrest to Harlem Hospital, they said, but he could not be saved.

Medina was a beloved musician and fashion enthusiast, known as “J McFly” in the community, a friend said.

“He was a nice boy. He loved fashion and made music,” said Alberto Frozani, 50. “He was a designer, a real fashionista.”

Frozani was shocked when paramedics carried his dying friend out of the subway station and into an ambulance.

“I saw the ambulance arrive to evacuate him. It was terrible,” Frozani said. “People no longer value life. »

Another friend of Medina said he couldn't imagine why anyone would want to kill him.

“We’re still trying to figure it out,” said Carlo Peguero, 30. “He was a really positive guy.”

No arrests were made
