A 30-year-old woman was stabbed by a 15-year-old girl during a clash with that teenager and two others inside a lower Manhattan subway station early Thursday, cops and sources said.

The straphanger was knifed in the leg on the platform of the Bowling Green station at Broadway and Battery Place around 6 a.m., police said. 

The attack stemmed from a fight with three “persons of interest” — three girls, two of them 15 and the other a 14 year old — who were quickly taken into custody, cops and police sources said. 

Charges are pending against the trio, who were not identified by police.

Sources said one of the 15 year olds is believed to be the alleged stabber.

The woman, meanwhile, was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.

No further details were available on the fight that led up to the stabbing.

Felony assaults in the city’s transit system have seen about a 4% uptick so far this year, according to the latest NYPD statistics, updated Sunday. 

At the time that data was compiled, 546 such crimes had been reported, compared to 526 during the same period in 2022, according to the data.

In one disturbing case last week, a knife-wielding menace slashed a straphanger during a fight at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station — and then randomly attacked another victim just 15 minutes later inside the G train station at Fulton Street and Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene, cops said.
