A social media influencer and singer says he was almost killed after a violent stabbing broke out in the subway car he was riding in early New Year’s Day.
TikToker Chris Olsen says he was on the subway with his friend when two men began shouting at each other, something he thought would be another ordinary verbal dispute on the New York City subway.
“We just witnessed basically a stabbing and almost died on the subway ourselves,” Olsen said in a video posted to TikTok on Jan. 1.
Olsen – who says he rides the subway “all the time” – wasn’t phased by the screaming match but his out-of-town friend Cara got “a little nervous” — still, he reassured her everything was fine.
Then, one of the unidentified straphangers pulled out “a really big knife” as the back-and-forth yelling continued.
